Hi guys, i think my bulb has blown i turned it off then it wont turn back on. and then sometimes i try n it flickers and then might come on but more often than not jus dies, is my bulb blown or u rekon its a connection problem. Mostly importantly i have a heat bulb but wont be able to get a new bulb for a week or 2 and its winter here so hardly any sun to take him out, have a heat bulb with UVA tho, u rekon that could hold him off for a couple of weeks???! by the way he is 4 inches hieroglyphic river cooter, any advice helpful thanks :)

With an MVB, you need to let it cool off before you can turn it on again. Usually 15 minutes or so. This should be mentioned somewhere in the instructions.
