Re: I'm such a idiot!
Lights are dangerous. I learned they must be very secure when my Iguana got out and knocked his off the enclosure onto the hardwood floor, leaving a nice crunchy black circle.

Re: I'm such a idiot!
AHAAH this is so funny because I did the same thing almost!
Our beardie was set up behind our at the time vinyl couch at the cottage and we went to take the lid off the tank. His light was hanging off a hook thing and I swung it over the couch and proceeded to take the lid off and clean etc etc. the couch started smoking and it melted a bit but it was noticed and the light was swung back over the tank XD

Your post always confuse me because your signature is so close to Norm's! You should spend more time here.

Re: I'm such a idiot!
Not to rub salt in your wounds but does your title really say " I am such (a) idiot?" Lol...

Yep everything turned out fine thankfully, but there is a 2 x 2 inch hole in my carpet now. Going to have to get one of the those carpet tiles and attempt to fix it.

Yes, the floor of the room. The tiles are to set on the floor for me to set the lights so that doesn't happen again.

I'm not sure what the big deal about this is.

Re: I'm such a idiot!
Korbin, I'm a lurker who learns a lot from on here, but I don't post much. I'll try to be better about it. And to the OP, tiles to set the lights on are a great idea! Just be careful, if they're vinyl they will melt, and if they're ceramic they could crack.
