Dinos SolarGlo bulb burned out after only 2 months and the dang thing cost $40. I am going to try to take it back to Petsmart tomorrow and I do not think I will get another one. I had a replacement bulb that I got at the Repticon for my Chameleon so I am using that, it is a Repti-glo by Exo Terra. Ok here is my situation for those of you that know Dino has not been eating and now all the sudden when his bulb blows out and he is under the Repti-glo bulb his colors are awesome and he is eating??? Should I continue with using this bulb?? Do you think he was too hot with the other bulb because it was 160 watt and this one is 150 watt but it is keeping his habitat on the basking side 100 degrees and the SolarGlo bulb was keeping it at 104 degrees. Take in mind I have the light on a extended stand so I can adjust it to where it was 18" from the basking spot. I don't think he liked the solarglo bulb and maybe he was just too hot?? Should I keep him under the Repti-glo or get a Halogen bulb again?
