I'm buying a basking light for my future beardie today. I have the UVB bulb and fixture and I also have the fixture for the basking light. My only problem is I need to know how many watts I would need. I live in Florida and my room is usually n even 82F, so that's a good ambient temperature for the tank. Would it take a 50w or a 75w bulb to heat up a tank that's only 12" tall? I don't think I would need a 100w bulb, so I'm trying to decide which bulbs to go with. I could experiment, but I have to take an hour drive to the pet store and I don't have any hardware stores around - therefore I'd rather be safe than sorry and get advice from you guys. Thanks so much in advance!
