I might get a baby ball at the LIHS show on oct. 9th, but am torn between one of these, a heterdon, or some cresties. Can;t decide now, so I am doing research on all of them

I have a 55 tall hexagonal tank. What wattage do you think will give me a proper temp grad? Thanks!

You're room is way to cold. You'll definitely need a heater of some sort.
