My infrared bulb has just gone. Is anyone near Doncaster that has one tonight. Otherwise Leo will be a little chilly by the morning!
My spare is at work :( |

i would have to agree here. i always keep spare heat bulbs as i never want to be in a situation where my snakes are without heat |

Well he was OK. Went into maltby and picked up a new one and was having a nose around as I was fitting it. Hopefully he'll shed in piece now! |

This is why I always keep a couple of spare bulbs for my lizards now! My Chameleons red bulbs never last very long!
My backup is a hot water bottle wrapped tightly in a thick towel in emergencies (Advice I was given by the breeder we got him from), just to keep him warm for a few hours while I sort out another bulb! |

Tesco sell bulbs and are open 24/7 but if you are getting one tomorrow anyway I wouldn't worry about doing anything other than keep the room from dropping too cold. |

Sorry to hear this. I'm sure things will be ok. Hope you get this sorted first thing Tomo though |

Pop a blanket over the viv (without blocking air vents) to keep in as much heat as possible until shops open in the morning.
I'm sure Leo will be ok until then.  |

Take one out of your own lights.
As long as you have a dimmer thermostat a normal household bulb will be ok in an emergency... |
