    I would consider the belly heat more far important. You will also need a thermostat for that as well. If anything, ditch the bulb. It will dry out your cage and unless your house is really cold, probably not needed at all. As mattchibi said, read that care sheet.

    As far as belly heat goes. Wouldn't the lamp(s) be more realistic? In nature the ground does not emit heat. It is heated from above by the sun. I would think a heat lamp shining on a rock which makes the rock warm would be closer to what they would see in the wild.
