I was wondering, what wattage of bulbs do you use, and how large is your tank?

Igor's cage is 4' tall 3' wide and 2' deep.
I don't use any sort of heating.

I agree with Skippy, I don't use supplimental heat and the tank should be a big one. Think Tree dweller and aim for no less than 3' tall. You can keep one short term in a large aquarium that is the tall version of it's size but I don't recommend that as a permanent home unless you build a topper/extension to add the needed height.

Ok. That answers that. I just put Beren in the 4x3x2 new cage, and it was only hitting like 70, so I put in a bulbs that's maintaining in the mid 70's.

If it is only mid 70s you may want to go to the next higher wattage. Try to get it to the upper 70s but not more than 84.

Yea, we've got it up to 78 right now, and 75 humidity, so, it's all good now.
