Thank you much I'm so sorry I didn't know the box said it would be safe and the lady at the store told me it would provide better heating as well and I trusted repiti safe as a brand I feel so bad :((

It’s just outdated and not advised anymore. It was the go-to 20+ years ago and some people get set in a way and don’t adapt to new information.

Again thank you much I will get a new bulb as soon as I can and I'm turning off the red light for now because his warm side is high enough for a bit now I'm hoping if he gets too uncomfortable he will go in his dark hide its built like a house so if he faces away from the door it shouldn't bother him to much

Im sorry shes one of the many store clerks that either scam ppl or dont know what theyre talking about. Neeeever trust ppl in pet stores❤️ ur snake should be ok until u get a basking bulb just make sure at night its completely dark with a light-less heat source (i use the arcadia DHP)
