Would it be ok to use a 60 watt incandescent black bulb and leave it on during the day and night to bring up the air temp?

Sixty watts is great to bring up the air temp. Just make sure it doesn't affect your humidity as incandescent lights have been known to do that, especially if you have a dry climate. Black lights can be used i believe, but some say snakes can see black lights. Red for sure cannot be detected. This should take care of the air temperatures.
