Hi all,
I've got a 6ft enclosure which is 60cm high.
I'm struggling to keep it heated overnight in a few of the last cold nights. Trying to get this right before I move my snake in to his new home.
I've got two ceramic light cages and I bought a URS Radiant Infrared Heat Globe 100W (and the place only sent one instead of the 2 by accident - so have been using my spare Get Your Pet Right Radiant 75w globe for now). However, after one night of testing I woke up to a bad smell and the URS Radiant Infrared Heat Globe 100W now no longer works. I think it may of been burnt out as I assume it was struggling to get up to the temperature overnight I had set of 30 degrees. I have the blue INKBIRD thermostat so both ceramic fittings are in the one thermostat.
My questions:
- Is there a better setup? I see a lot of people recommend the red infrared globes but I'm worried about conflicting research of the light emitted and messing up snakes day/night cycles as it will be run 24/7.
- Is URS a crap brand and is it normal for the Radiant Infrared Globes to burn out/die?
- Any other advice would be amazing!
Thank you very much.
