What a horrible day!
Lower 50s and cold rain.
Last night I went out back to swap out the 50 watt tortoise black heat lamps with 75 watters. And found one had burned out! All 7 tortoises were piled into the other house.
It reminds me of the last time it got too cool, there was ALSO a burned out bulb. These come on every night in the winter, but seem to only fail on the nights they are needed.
@Tom was right!
I need to swap over to CHE.
Black incandescent work, but they are too unreliable.

Good morning, Ed. :)
It's lovely here.
I use a CHE when necessary, which isn't often.
And don't alert @Tom in the CDR.
He'll come and tell me off for using baked beans as substrate.

Morning Adam:)
Baked beans, never thought of that..the cypress mulch works pretty well *rubs chin*
