Zoo Med Deluxe Porcelain Clamp Lamp

[cloverhedgie7]

I haven't tried out this lamp yet the image on Amazon said "For use with all reptile incandescent heat sources and reptile ceramic heat emitters". Then on the directions it came with, it said "NOT for use with ceramic heat emitters." What? I'm still going to test it, away from Clover's cage. I'll update this post with the results. Be careful if you decide to use this lamp.

I was confused at first too, but mine works well so no complaints here.

I think it might be because it's a "brooder lamp." Most of the brooder lamps I researched were not rated for use with CHE's. I would try seeing if a pet store has the proper lamp, or go with an 8.5" worst case.

Best of luck!

Thank you!
When I checked on amazon, the bottom of the picture said "for use with reptile ceramic heat emitters" so I figured it would be ok. We called Amazon and the lady said she'd update the website. Thank you again for your advice, it is greatly appreciated!!
