Local pet store would be the quickest.

Just go to any pet store near you. Most of them carry them. In the meantime you can go to any hardware store and get a "black light" incandescent bulb to hold you over.

Now I would also try to figure out what happened to your CHE. Those things never burn out. I have one that I've been using continuously since 1991. Plus a bunch of others too. I've never had a single one burn out... You might have a bad fixture or something.
Some lessons I learned the hard way, so you don't have to:

Yikes! thats a long time. I suppose they are good quality products. Actually mine burnt for a reason. I have learned from experience that when a bulb is hot (from being on) your not supposed to unscrew it and then re-screw it while its still hot and turn it on. This will immediately burn the bulb.

Thanks for the tips

RE: Ceramic Hear Emitter
Ya mine just gave out yesterday, I had it for 2 years. It just stoped putting out enough heat. I still have it. We are going to try it in another lamp to see if that makes a differnce.

I had one burn out and there was a swollen looking part in the ceramic material on the flat part that is closest to the tortoise-very weird!
