Worried the heat lamp isn't doing enough?

[cstruthers]

I have a thermometer on the way, and I have a day and night heat bulb so here are my questions.

1. Can I leave the night red bulb on 24/7?
2. Will the night red bulb heat the enclosure (a 20 gallon long, housing two 3 1/2 inch long leo's) completely and correctly?
3. I know UTH's are "best" but will the heat bulb get the job done?

1. Yes, some people dont like to but it will not stress the animals
2. it depends on the wattage, i would say a 75w will get the job done, depending on what you keep the house temps at
3. as long as it is hot enough then you will be fine, the chances of an impaction does go up a little but as long as you are doing everything else right (food size, substrate, etc...) then you will be fine
