    Not sure how cold it was, but how about:

    - holding her next to your body
    - heating pad (not to warm)
    - regular inside house warmth
    - bathtub with some warm water

    A couple spare lamps is standard for me since the reliability is not great on these things. Obviously that doesn't help if they go out while you're sleeping or away. How about using a ceramic instead of one lamp? Ceramics are much longer lasting.

    Yea, the quality control on bulbs is far from great. My pet store tests them for me when I buy them.

    God.. that would scare the hell outta me! Your very lucky to bring your iggi back to life!

    My leo gecko at the moment plays tricks on me all the time.. sometimes when i look in on her she must think "quick quick hold my breath".. so i watch her... then start to panick... then she lets out her breath and giggles.. well she doesnt giggle.. but i bet she is!
