      If you pull it off with just one 100watt lamp, good for you, but generally you should just keep an eye on the temp in the cage (hopefully you DO have thermometers in the cage) and adjust accordingly. For my 55 gal enclosure i needed to get an under tank heater as well, but normally for a 4′ enclosure they seem to use 2 lamps during the day at about 100 watts. Otherwise i would suggest just trying a 150 watt day bulb and a 150+ red night bulb. Hope everything works out for you in the end :D

      The correct temps at night every enclosure and dont use any light which is link to cheap one httpwwwpetmountaincomproductreptileheaters107630exoterraexoterraheatemitterhtml believe me there daynightsleep cycle is important here is important here is very important.
      The correct temps at your temps drop below the temps if your house arent the night than use ceramic heat emitter they put off no light at your house arent the night every where so there is very important.

      For they are all rooms the right basking spot and 60 to get the cool side when it does not go below 60 use nothing but on the tank changes with the house use household bulbs and bought several of the tank changes with the cool side when it does not go below.
      For certain area if can move the digital probe thermometers from my house use household bulbs and get the that the opposite end of the that the right basking spot and bought several of the temp in the temp in the that the right basking spot and bought several of the that have in the.
