Someone mentioned in another subreddit that one should bake commercially produced topsoil before using, eliminating any bad bugs, fungus, mold, etc.
I thought that had gone out of fashion as we learn more about what works and what doesn't.
So, should topsoil be baked before using?
I have a Zoo Med double dome (not the Nano). I had 2 150w Exo Terra Intense in the 4x2x2 enclosure for my bearded dragon. In the winter, it was enough to keep it warm in this old, drafty house. Basking spot stayed in the low 100Fs. But now that it is warmer, the basking spot gets far too about 4hrs. As in I've measured 117F.
So I got 2 100w Intense and last night went to switch them out. The one did fine, but the other won't. If I hold the ceramic top, it turns but is twisting that internal bit. I don't want to break it. And no, I didn't over tighten it when I put it in. I use paper towels to hold the bulbs. That bulb has been in there the longest.
I've tried holding it but it's hard to hold both the bulb and that small ceramic ring.
Any ideas how to get it out?
I have a 25 Forester with the Eyesight system. I also use a handicap placard. Hanging the placard in this car is frustrating. I have a plastic holder with a hook but it just does not fit.
I did a search today and found these magnetic hooks and bead chains that work with a plastic holder that also has a magnet.
BUT will these magnets me with the Eyesight?
