Re: Heat lamp?
It depends on where you live, I live in southern california and it gets pretty hot so i only use a red 75 watt with a dimmer and no under tank heater. If you live in a colder climate get a bulb with a higher wattage.

Being in Texas, our winters are usually a joke compared to most of the nation. But this year it got much colder and lasted longer. I keep 75, 100, and 150 on hand and switch them about.
Plus back ups! (Referring to another thread)
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Do you just want a light? With little heat? If so a simple led bulb will be fine. If you want heat it is too broad to answer and ultimatly you will have to try and see what works. i would start low like 25-50w and go up if needed.

Make sure that UTH is controlled by a thermostat. Otherwise they get very hot and will burn your snake.
