Hi,
I've got two young balls in a 30 gal tank and I plan to move them to a rack in a couple months. I'm using a heat lamp but I'm not quite sure what the bulb's wattage is. I do know that the hot side is about 100 degrees and the cool side is 85 degrees (using a non-digital thermometer).
Is this too hot on the hot side (and the cool side for that matter)? If so, what wattage do you recommend for a 30 gallon tank? I want another 'red' heat bulb as I can leave it on 24/7 and it won't bother the snake. I know someone is going to say "Get a rheostat" but the price is $19.95 at my local Petco. I think a bulb replacement with less wattage would be cheaper.
What do you think I should do? thanks in advance!
