I just shifted my two res from a 2ft tank to a 4ft tank. I filled it with tap water and its quite safe i guess in singapore as most people use tap water here..
After shiftint they close their eyes alot and keep scrwtching them and chomping in water. I am worried as i done all i can to take care of them. They were rescued.

I think you mentioned purple light in a different thread. I'd stop using it as well.

Hi. I was using exo terra 75watt bulbs but it just burst i accidentally pulled on it. Temporary using an incandescent bulb for basking is that okay?

Yes that's fine as long as its frosted and not clear. Actually a lot cheaper than exo terra also.
