I have three red ear sliders. Today when I tried to turn on the lamp, it didn't and I can't buy another until next week... how could I keep them warm for this week? Please help!!

You need another lamp...the lamp provides more than just heat. You should find a way to get the money, borrow it if you can.

Its not a money problem, I live in a small town and its impossible for me to get to the city this week.
