Hello! I got a mega ray mercury vapor bulb two days ago to go in a flukers sun dome. It is for my Hermann’s tortoise Theia. The bulb just went out. It is a 100 watt and was thinking it is too hot. I put the bulb back in after a little while and it turned back on and is fine. I was thinking downsizing to a 75 watt and just wanted to know your opinions. The enclosure is a
2 1/2 by 1 1/2 and the lamp has to be really high above the enclosure(16 in). Should I get a different bulb. I know the dome wasn’t the problem. Should I leave it on all afternoon?the bulb does get really hot and is strong.
-also I am a new tortoise owner and just got my baby Sunday.
