Wow Im sorry for that litle lizard Tom, poor thing, hope he makes a full recovery. And I dont felt you were the sligthest bit harsh or anything to anyone, I really like reading your posts. As for the bulb thing, I also feal people tend to really overdue on bulb wattage. On my cages and Ive have some big ones, Ive tryed allmost every single bulb and bulb combo you can think of and Ive come to the conclusion you dont really need like 150w bulbs on most cages, all you need is 3 40w-60w ones, good isolation and thats it. Here there are people with really nice big igs but most of them lack the tips of their spines because of overdue bulbs. I also have the habbit of experimenting by my own toch the heating devices, I know heat for me isnt the same as for lizards but if I feal its really to much I do something about it before putting the animal in.

Going back a bit Im amazed how people witch apear to have NONE lizard keeping experience or good sence by that matter jump rigth up to keeping Cyclura, just like any other hobby you must learn to crawl before you walk! This are NOT lizards for begginers, if that was realized before maybe that ig would be spared of that burn. By the way Tom, did you took the lizard in? Gave it to a new more caring owner?
