I'm in Maine, and it's getting cold here. My heating pad stopped providing enough heat so I incorporated a clamp lamp into my set up. While it is working well enough it seems like it might be bothering him. It was very warm in my house last night so I turned off the light. He seemed more active/ responsive, stood up in his hole, ducked down at sudden movements or sounds. I'm thinking in might be either A) The concentrated area of heat the bulb is providing, or B) that there is enough detectable light to bother him despite using a red bulb. From my understanding the ceramic heating element would address both of these issues. Do any of you use one? How do you like it?
