Pretty soon, i'll be the proud owner of a baby BT. I have a temporary 55 gal cage for it until i get his permanant home built.



So.....i know the dangers of spotlights and i'm going to try and stay away from them and go with a CHE. Now, what type of wattage will i need? I have a screen top, but i'm putting plexiglass over top of it at the hot end to keep mositure in. I'll also have dirt as substrate. Also, what other lighting do i need? Should i use a heat pad? Should i just use a flood light?



The water bowl......which end to put it at, hot or cold end?



I know the ambient temps, basking spot temps and all that type of stuff, no need to repeat it. Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions are welcome.
