I'm using a75 watt heat bulb,not basking light but a heat bulb for heat.. I use a reg one during the day and a red at night,both 75 watts. I have a 20 gallon and my temps are all on the money as well as humidity.Originally Posted by Dev_DeCoste
Sweet, got about 90% of that all set. Going to tape the stat probe to the bottom of the heat mat today and change his daylight bulb to an infrared that can run constantly. The water dish is right next to where the heat mat ends so the mat doesn't do much, especially since the dish is a pretty heavy piece of stone. However, the light source is pretty much right above the water dish. After sleeping and waking up I noticed the red light on the thermostat still hasn't shut off. Hopefully moving the probe will alleviate this issue. Since adding the foil humidity has been at a steady 50-60%. Sweet deal
Do you think a 50W Infrared will be enough? I grabbed a 100W but got home and saw that my lamp can only handle up to 65, so I'm gonna head back to the store and switch em
