    Che wattage?

    My old Che said,"I'm dead," and I can't remember it's wattage, it dosent say it anywhere either. I don't know what wattage to get. My ball python is in a 34gal with a night bulb that stays on 24/7 raises temp about 10°F and a day light, for viewing purposes, that does not raise temp significantly and a heat pad at 91°. The house is usually low-to-mid-sixties, it's practically winter here. The afore mentioned +10°f was for the hot side, currently about 72°. I have another night bulb to use for now but it's still too cold, about 82° hot side. What wattage should I use for the Che?

    edit:forgot to add, this is just during the day. It gets about 5-10° degrees colder at night, usually only 5°

    edit: tank is about 12 in tall.

    Usually on the back of the box it will say what temp the surface of the tank will be from so many inches away. Figure out how tall your tank is and go with that.

    I'm betting on 60.
