Basking Light Help

[kalidog]

Currently using a Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp 75w in a 20gal tank for juvie beardie. This doesn't seem to be cutting it to get the temps up to 105-110. Should I bump up to a 100w in same brand or try a different brand/type of basking light?

You can either bump it up to 100w, or try a 70w halogen floodlight bulb from your local home improvement store. Unfortunately when it comes down to figuring out the right wattage bulb for your specific setup, it often takes a bit of trial and error.
