A regular light bulb should suffice until Friday. What are your hot spot and ambient at? Don't go over the rating of the ceramic lamp though which is typically 60w.

86 isn't bad. Just monitor the temperature just in case. Ambient temps refer to the temperature of the air in the whole enclosure.

Oh ok that makes sense and ment to say 76 but its up to 85 now

What are you using to regulate your heat mat?
You say "turn it up" and that makes me wonder.

76 degrees is bad, 85 is getting better though but 88 to 90 is ideal.
