My male BT, hes over 4ft long with over 1ft of tail missing, 2-45 watt bulbs. 155f basking spot.

4ft plus of male flavi-argus, 2-45 watt floods again, 150f plus basking spot.

6ft 4inches of my little girl Sobek, 4-5 45 watt bulbs depends on the time of year, now she uses 4, winter time she uses 5. 145f basking spot.

Back in winter..

All of my ackies use 45 watt bulbs, the same as my other monitors, and the beardies I used to breed. The beardies were exposed to 168f basking spots, the ackies up to 195f.

Ive used as low as 30 watt incandescents, and tried 65 watt incandescents, the 30 watters worked with babies and with my storrs in his old cage. The 65 watt bulbs I tried on Sobek couldnt make 110f without getting 7 inches away. So I use 45 watt halogens, and used 50 watts a few times.
