Well, you can try adding another heat lamp, maybe two, if you can't get a higher wattage bulb. I got heat lamps from Low's with ceramic socket for dirt cheap and they are for 250 watts bulbs. I use those infared red bulbs, that you use for keeping foods and barn animals warm, which is 250 watts. I don't let it give off the full heat, though, I plug it into the dimmer and dim it way down to get the right temperature. Warning: 250 watts is really hot! The bulbs are huge so one can heat a relatively large area, so you don't need to buy one or two more heat lamps to keep the basking spot up at the right temperature during winter.
