We have fashioned a little "ramp" for our beardie to get up to the window sill. Right now we have a common desk lamp shining onto the top of the ramp so that he can stay warm while looking out the window. The problem is that we are scared to leave him in that room alone (or if we are out of the apartment), because of the risk of fire. The whole setup seems pretty darned secure, but I don't want to take chances. I was wondering if anyone knows of a really solid lamp (one with a wide base or something) that people might use for just this sort of thing. I seem to recall that some iguana owners have used lamps to create basking sites around a room, but I am not sure what type of lamp they are using. Anyway, sort of a weird request.
