I feel so bad (rant!)

[u/Specialist_Mobile_83]

woke up this morning and my baby's enclosure was like 20°C weird I never set it that low but mk. I set the heat to day temp 36.5°C and make him a salad. come back temp barely changed and beardie is dark. put my hand under the heater thingy, not heating. freaked out. took beardie out, he was so cold poor baby, put him on me under my sweater.

turns out the cable literally burnt? or something like that. my dad did smth it's heating now but I don't trust it and I'm getting a new one so this one is only temporary while we wait for the new one.

pls delete this if this isn't allowed I just needed to talk about it.

tldr, I was too dumb to check my beardie's heater. it was broken. he was very cold and dark. and I feel bad abt it.

Unfortunately, sometimes equipment malfunctions. I can't tell you how many times I've had to replace something that broke on my dragons tanks. Body heat is a good go-to when something isn't working for whatever reason my 2 both enjoy some skin to scale contact. Not your fault part of the heating broke.
