Hey,
I have exploded quite a few light bulbs in my day, lol. As Froggy stated, when moisture gets on the light bulb, it will explode. I used to break them accidentally when misting the cage. If you have automatic misters, you might want to move them to a different spot in the cage so that the light bulb doesn't get wet. To get it out, MAKE SURE IT IS UN-PLUGGED (or you will be in the hospital with your hair standing up!), and then take a pair of needle nose plyers and unscrew it. If you can't get a grip on it, try keeping them closed until it is all the way in the socket, and then open them so that it is pushing outward, then spin counter-clockwise. PLEASE MAKE SURE IT IS UN-PLUGGED, NOT JUST TURNED OFF!!! I was adding more dome fixtures to my cricket racks today and I had to reach in one of the sockets to pull out one of the prongs (can't really explain it), and I was too lazy to un-plug it. I just turned it off. Luckily my cell phone rang just before I did it, cause I realized that it wasn't off after all, and I would have gotten the shock of my life. BE CAREFUL!!!!
