[QUOTE="Charoozz520, post: 329890, member: 2156"] How big is your exoterra? I use to have this problem with reptiles but I never have to use so much heats for my mantises, I find that 25-40watt bulbs are more than enough for my mantises. You can also make sure that the lamp itself is lifted an inch or two above the lid and not resting on it. Oftentimes I find it's the metal part of the lamp that gets super hot and melts the plastic rather than the bulb itself. [/QUOTE]
