I have taken pictures of the two other things I bought. Am I able to keep the deep dome fixture and put the ceramic heater bulb in that?

I too have a Russian. I use adjustable stands like the one you purchased for both the CHE and incandescent flood basking bulb. The CHE requires a ceramic/porcelain socket. I believe the dome fixture you have has the proper socket.

The pix I sent of box says “for use with the following lamps up to 160 watts max” and another area of the box says “ for uvb,24 hr heat or daylight lamps”. I am trying to locate a 50 watt ceramic heat Exhanger like the other person they had but have only found 60 watt on up. Will the Che or the reptisun hood do damage to my 55 gallon Rubbermaid container. How long does one typically leave the che and or light on. Again. Thanks for helping me
