Heat light question

[Sonny1318]

Yes I realize it's hard for the humidity to stay up with the heat lamps. I currently have him in a 20gal long.
The warm end fluctuates between 82-86. The cool end stays around 75.
and that is the ambient air temps.

I run tanks, 20 longs. I use either 40 or 60 watt zoo med red night bulbs depending on the season, and where the tank is on my shelves. Yeah, it's a bit more work. And I also have to use humid hides. But it's very doable if you have the passion/time. I'd be more concerned about baking the little guys with to much bulb wattage. I have no trouble with hotspots or ambient temps. But then again my home is always at around 73 to 74 degrees, so please take that into consideration with my two cents. And I don't provide belly heat and like my hot spot around 88 degrees. Hope that helps some what.
