75 watt infrared heat bulb.. too hot?

[CoolioTiffany]

Haven't you provided a hide on the cooler side of the tank?
Raise the light above the tank but not too far. Cut a hole in a tupperware and give Snakey a cool hide and get a thermostat asap.

I use a 75 watt infrared light to assist in heating my decorative glass BP enclosure. The temps are fabulous and consistant but it took a lot of fiddling and some cash to get it right. A thermostat is a must.

A dimmer would prolly be best for me right now until I get some extra money for other things. How can I raise the lamp?
