I use those exact bulbs. Nothing but success. Plus you can run them 24/7, they can't see them at night times.

Maybe 100 is too high, you'll have to wait and see. Should be fine. But if it is too much it'll make it too dry, and if you cover the top to holdin humidity it'll get too hot. I think a 75 watt is best. You'll need to monitor it.
