thanks. yes my basking lamps are securely fixed. he has 3 in a row to give him equal heat over his body, these are positioned above his basking shelf. id rather use 3 lower wattage ones than one high wattage one to get my temps as i believe its safer.
unfortunately my iggy already has sustained burns...whilst he was with his previous owner as a skatty baby, he got stuck behind a radiator that was on and recieved 2 burns to his back. they have healed well and when i got him i had my vet check them out and he said they are fine-bit of a shame as he has lost some spikes due to it but he is still beautiful in my eyes!!
