Scary Moment - Puff's infra red heat bulb exploded !
Last night I finished feeding Puff and had taken him out of the feeding container. I was holding him and singing to him when all of a sudden the infra red light that hangs above the feeding container / "dining room" exploded!It made a loud noise and there was glass every where.Some very tiny shards were in the dog's water bowl,on the floor around Puff's tank and larger shards in the feeding container/dining room.I was about 2 feet away from it when this happened. If Puff was still in the "dining room"and I was still feeding him,he could have been killed!! I would certainly have had glass embedded in my face as I sit right next to the container when feeding him.I think God was looking out for us both!I have never had this happen before but Carla said that she has had it happen to her with a regular light bulb once. I took the exploded bulb back to Petsmart and they replaced it.The manager said that the filament was not affected and it was just the glass that must have had a defect in it. I also called the Exo-Terra company and told them what had happened.These bulbs are made in China.I hope that this never happens to any one else as it was quite scary.Poor Puff did not get his bath last night as it took some time to clean all the glass up and replace the dog's water after cleaning the bowl and sweeping up what was all over the floor. I did mist him and he does enjoy this. I will give him extra time to soak in his bath tonight. Both Lilo and Puff are doing great. They are eating well even though they are Brumating. They seem to wake up for dinner every night.Lilo is sleeping more than Puff. This year he seems to be a little more active although he does sleep all afternoon. They are now eating Mustard and Collard greens rather than just the Bokchoy. They both love the baby food veggies. Lilo gently licks the vegies off of a spoon and Puff attacks the spoon and the veggies.I seem to be able to get them to eat new things by just putting the baby food on the new food. I love you Puff and Lilo!! The Golden Dragon,to be continued..........
