I have a russian tortoise. I have been using the mercury bulbs, but for whatever reason, they only last a month at my house- it is an old house, so I am thinking to blame the currents.I just bought a CFL bulb (Exo Terra 10.0 CFL Desert Terrarium Lamp, 26-Watt ) and I bought a ceramic heat emitter (60w Zoomed) Now I just read that the heat emitters can only be used in porcelain sockets. I thought ceramic was porcelain, and don‘t know why they would be using two names of the same thing, so thought I would check if they are different.Are ceramic and porcelain sockets the same thing?And second- is it safe to use a heat emitter and a CFL bulb at the same time in ZooMed Mini combo deep dome lamp fixture? They are connected, and I am not sure if the heat of the ceramic would bust the CFL.Any suggestions?The terrarium is only about a foot high with a large hole wire mesh top, so I don‘t need extremely long range stuff by the wayThanks in advance!
Can you just change out the axles?
Where I live, I would try trade-in with the shop where I bought the wrong wheelsets for those wheelsets with quick release (may have to top-up for the price differences)
ceramic fixture is fine, not sure if it's the same material as porcelain but i use ceramic for all my high temp bulbs and heat emitters (which i believe are made with ceramic) and so does the reptile zoo i work with. as far as the heat blowing up the florescent bulb i THINK you'll be ok as the majority of the heat is projected downwards but you never know. good luck M.Y.
try putting washers or shim, so it will fit, you need to go to a bike shop dude, its the front wheel!
