Any use for torts? - Page 3

Did anyone buy one of these? If so does the bulb come out?

Thanks x

My wife reckons I had one of these a few years ago for my shoulder, I vaguely remember something about that but anyway, the bulb could be changed.

I'm not sure it would do for a combined bulb because they have to be pointing straight down

it has an angle adjustable head so could maybe be downwards aiming if not I don't see why it couldn't be mounted to make it point down.

I would buy it for the night time heat I need for the torts or even for the extra lighting I use in theitr tables. Don't think I would use it for a combined bulb. x

I just bought one. Not tried it with my tort yet but it does give off a good bit of heat and I think it will work well for extra heating.

regarding the digital thermometers at £3.99, it appears Lidl are not doing them this year. they have always been in with the car stuff offers at this time of year because they are meant to be fitted into cars with the sensor on the long wire being fitted behind the bumper or somewhere but their car offers are out on thursday this week and there's no thermometer, pity because they are very handy and cheap too

Arh yes, I got one of these from Lidl a few years back, not for me though, for the torts mainly/lizards. Quite useful as a warm up but has to be propped up, otherwise it can get knocked over. Lots of heat. Was quite cheap and just useful when you have lots of animals as an emergency.

I got one and left it outside and it rained and that was that so I got another the following year, this was them
