You might want to invest in an under-the-tank heater, bulbs are usually not as effective.
Temps on both sides? Ambient temp? Humidity?
I just noticed you're in Merrick. Let me see if I can pull up the vet they recommend here in Long Island.
Plainview
Dr. Monaco
Old Country Animal Clinic
669 Old Country Road, Plainview, NY 11803
(516) 938-7218 phone

It looks like a short drive from Merrick at least.
This is where you can find the vet list in the future:
