Sorry to hear that..

This happens so so often, I just don't get why people use light covers, none of the biggest breeders in NSW use them for this reason...

Its a hard lesson to learn mate, but do away with them from now on.

Don't know about NSW breeders, but Simon Stone from SouthernX certainly recommends them, in fact in his articles, strongly recommends them, as he says it is only a matter of time before they wrap around a heat lamp.

aww thats so sad i had a juvie olive get cought in its light cover once but the lights where off but since then i dont use them

 

[Chris89]

I'm going to stick to the old fashioned light cage covers. They seem like the safest bet now.

Once again, thank you everyone for your kind comments.

poor ziggy

was the brand of the lght cge repta?
because i bourt a few of thier globs, and lamps, and the globs lasted about 2 days each, and the lamp about one month,, i found that product to be very dodgy

 

[Chris89]

Yes, it was a repta light cage cover - I will NEVER use them again. Infact they are in the bin.
