i currently use the 160watt powersun from big apple herp. my bulb is about 16-18" total from the basking spot. with a 100, i would reccomend lowering the baksing spot to about 12" for a veiled. that is total space from the bulb to the vine (or whatever).

Hi-
You will need no more then a 100W MV Bulb. I have used just about every major brand of MV and would recommend ONLY the Zoomed and BigApple. The best price you will find is on the net, try www.reptiledepot.com (only supplies no animals)Hope this helps!
