New Fixtures

[CamrynTheCham22]

Just today my heat bulb died. It was one of the red-tinted ones, but I am glad because I want to upgrade my light fixture to something more healthy and efficient. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do about this? I have been looking at a linear UVB bulb and fixture, but I am not sure what to do about the basking light. The bulb was not warm enough for my cham and I was using 100W. Let me know some of your guys' opinions! Thanks!

I take it that 100 watt was not a flood. I would check out a halogen flood.

It seems too cheap to last . . .
Also, how good are the linear uvb lamps compared to the actual bulbs? It is an expensive upgrade, and I want to make sure it is worth my while.
It just seems like every basking bulb I have ever bought has not lasted me more than 2 months maximum, so that was another issue I was trying to deal with.

I use a linear uvb bulb...they are better for the cham than a bulb. For heat I use a regular household incandesent lightbulb in a dome fixture. Depends on the size of your cage, type of cham and where it is located above enclosure ( hanging above or sitting on screen) as to what wattage to use.
