Very sad for the poor tortoise.
Very stupid for the owner who thought a heat lamp with a large sulcata wouldn't have to be secured.
Too bad the tortoise had to pay for their stupidity.

Too bad the article didn't go into it further. This would have been a good one to refer to when we tell new members that clamp lights sometimes fail (if that was the case)

So sad. I live 10 mins from there, haven't heard anything on the news anywhere. Not important to them enough I suppose, poor thing.
