I will be investing in another stand, one that is more appropriate for that type of heater. I did get a red bulb, it is only a 50 watt though. I may have to get at least a 75watt??? Thank you very much for your help. I will make the next hide a humidity hide.
Bulbs are more of an irritant for the snake as they are nocturnal AND they will kill the humidity causing bad sheds. I strongly suggest a UTH with a thermostat instead since the cons of "lights" are a lot more and the pros. How are you measuring temps? Bulbs also get very hot, and analog temp guages are not accurate.
