Hello! I am new here. I am a new RES owner. I have my tank set up and I am using a ceramic heat emitter 60 W . The sales clerk suggested it along with a UVB bulb. She said I should leave the heat emitter on 24 hours and the uvb on hour 12. This is my first reptile so I am very nervous about leaving this on for 24 hours a day. The screen on the tank does not seem to get really hot but the lamp is very hot to touch. I am concerned about it starting a fire. Will this be okay? Thanks in advance
