Hi everyone,
Was just sitting on the couch, had my Spotted Python out, she was having a great time, next minute boom, her ceramic light bulb blew, sparks flew and her marine carpet caught on a small fire. After further investigation, we noticed it was actually the ceramic fitting, not the bulb itself, this is the second faulty one from one particular place (I am not sure if they are on here so dont want to name names. From the same mob, I have had bulbs blow in a matter of days - 3 weeks and had bad dealings in terms of their bowls etc.
Anyway just thought I would give the heads up to people to be vigilant, I am glad my snake was not in there and we were home. I would of hate to of come home and my snake is burnt alive.
I do not use heat mats, cords or rocks because of this, not that all mats, cords and rocks do this but have heard many stories and would hate it to happen to my snakes.
Cheers
