Hey /an/ I'm wondering if you can help me out I keep buying 60 watt Neodymium UVB bulbs for my bearded dragon. Obviously they're really expensive and I'm getting pretty annoyed because they blow out really fast. For reference I just went through my third one since I moved into my new apartment in November and I haven't changed any other light bulbs in the whole place. I have bought different brands so I'm sure I'm not just buying shitty bulbs. Am I supposed to be going through bulbs this fast? I switch them off at night. Usually they blow when I turn the lamp on in the morning. It turns on for a second and then blows out.

Probably using 60w in a 100w socket. Go to a hardware store and ask for a 60 watt light socket.

Makes sense but the nighttime bulbs I use are the same wattage and I put them into the same lamp, and I've gone through two in the past year

Switch to a regular fluorescent tube uvb bulb. Use a ceramic heat emitter for you basking spot.
