yeah, heat lamp would make it too hot. florescents work well if you want light. or energy effecient light bulbs, they produce almost no heat. florescents are still best for darts though. is that a screen lid? fruit flies will get out and it will be chaotic. plus you need glass lid to keep humidity up and moisture content high. getting glass cut is cheap though, but make sure you get it before you get the frogs. i would get a temp gun or a thermometer and if temps stay above 85 a lot install a fan. darts like it in the mid 70's and not too much higher. they get muscle spasms if it's too high.
