[Charliethetortoise]

Okay, Hi sorry, this post may be a bit annoying but... I am going out of town tomorrow for a night and I have nobody to switch off my heat lamps for me.... I will be back early enough in the morning to switch them back on but I don't know what to do... Because my lamp is foreign I have to use a adaptor to fit with my plugs therefore a timer my timer does not work...I will be leaving at 17:00 should I just turn the lights off then? HELP

Charlie if you tell us what state you live in or what your night time temps are ? But I would go to the store and get those hand Warmers they sell for 1-2 $ each wrap it in a wash cloth and place it in your torts hide if it gets cold it will go to the hand warmer .

If it were me and It was going to get too cold, I would leave the lights on. One night with lights on won't hurt or cause anything.

Me too, If i was leaving for just one night, I would probably leave the light on depending on the weather. But either way, one night with the lights on or off is not gonna make or break his lil life lol

Buy a $6 timer and use that...

If your worried about the light you can go buy one of those infrared bulbs that out out heat and red light (for night use) and leave it on the entire time you're gone.
