Hi everyone,
My town is currently going through a power outrage and a tropic hurricane.
My dragons heat bulb completely broke when the power went, it won't even turn on. He same with his night heat
His UVB still works by idk what to do ! I'll be in town tomorrow but, idk how long he can go without heat or UVB. I could switc the heat bulb tithe UVB socket, but which is more important till tomorrow ?
:(

The heat is the more important, it won't hurt it to be without UVB for a day. Why are you using Night heat?

Hi AlishaOK:)
Just asking for a little clarification...You stated that your power was currently out but that your UV and the night heat that you are using is working?
The heat,as Germ stated, is definitely the priority and if you do have power but just not your regular basking light then I would suggest that you try a standard household incandescent bulb if you have one till you get to town tomorrow. A 60, 75 or 100 watt incandescent puts out more heat than most folks are aware of;-) Of course if you use one you will need to watch the temps in his enclosure closely to make sure they dont go too high.

sorry for the confusion guys ! a little flustered.
ok so, the power did go, but is back again. but when it was gone my dome for my heat bulb died. so i only have a one other dome, all my bulbs work except one dome is gone.
Germ, the night heat question goes for my brothers dragon Hershel, mine doesn't use his night heat anymore and i have no control over his dragons stuff (he just wanted me to ask)
but i have switched the heat bulb into the uvb socket so that he'll stay toasty warm till tomorrow

Glad to here you got your power back on and everything under control:D
Just a suggestion but I always keep a stock of extra bulbs on hand for these exact types of situations..That and having a plan in place beforehand in case your power goes out again goes a long way toward keeping the stress you experienced when it did from being a stress at all:)
Hopre the storms have past and that you can Enjoy the rest of your day!
