I'm screwed...

Yeah ill email them. And yes I have a huge hood. about three different kinds!

At least Zoomed's bulbs aren't as terrible as Zilla's. I will never EVER buy any zilla product just because they are so terrible at making light bulbs and they con so many people into buying so many.

This is why I only ever buy Zoo Med. Zilla and Exo Terra are so tempting because they're cheap, but their quality is crap.

I'm getting a new bulb this Sunday! Finally got some cash! Something always goes wrong when you spend money... Am I right? My Leopard Gecko is doing pretty good though I'm having a "reptile emergency fund" set up on my bank account so I can put some $ back for when things like this happen!

Has always been my experience. Glad your going to be able to get the bulb. Now you can relax a little.

Save yourself the trouble of sending it back. If you can scrape up the money, go buy a new one. The same kind and size. Then in a couple days return the blown one to the store. Sounds dishonest, but if zoo med says they will last three years, then thats how long they should last. You are just letting the store return to zoo med instead of you having to hassle with it. However, your tort can go a while with out UVB without harm.

But then he's screwed if the new one doesn't work, right? Also, is it bad that I have done this before, and I happen to work at the store that I'm returning to?

haha i had to laugh to this one, because although i have never done it does sound to me worth doing. especially if someone says they are supposed to last 3 years. lots of support here, dont be worried!

Got a new bulb!!!

 

[Mgridgaway]

Just to clarify, the Powersun is only supposed to work 1 year, not 3.

 

[chase thorn]

Yes one year is what I have gone by... I would be so much happier buying these if they lasted three years!!
