Halogen lightbulbs?

I have always been of the opinion that the heat bulbs bought at pet stores are a waste of money, so I buy mine at hardware stores. I get a 50w or 60w flood or spot to heat a 36Lx24Dx18H Boaphile. Today I went searching for a backup bulb, and all I could find were Halogens. The regular incandescents I only saw in 45w and 65w. Do halogens put off the same amount of heat as an equivalent wattage incandescent, or should I return the bulb and try to find the one I normally use?
