    Re: Regular Light Bulbs in Heating Lamp?

    Well there are specific heating bulbs. Bulbs can be bought with a metallic coating to create a tight beam of heat. Bulbs like this become very hot and require a special fixture.

    Brooding lamps and spot lamps are bad for reptiles, as you risk burning your animal.

    Any nice FLOOD light or regular household bulb will do nicely.
