Hmm Im beginning to think I was ripped off with my ceramic heater. The heater cost me £15 quid and that didnt include the holder.

Could I have used a normal reflector bulb?

If I can use a normal reflector bulb would it be okay with my new tort that I am getting tomorrow and what size??

If I have to get another ceramic heater I will but it doesnt hurt to save a few pennies does it.
