Ceramic heat emitter question...

[MurderVictim]

Well, it's been getting pretty cold lately. Been getting down to 40 degrees lately, and my mom has agreed to take me to get a CHE on Friday (been keeping Wolfgang warm until then with an extra blanket covering his eyes and a red bulb set on just high enough to keep the temp at 75 degrees.)

I know this must be a really stupid question...But is there any specific brand I should look out for? I think I saw a brand at Petsmart, and a different one at Petco...At least I think. Or are they all pretty much the same just with different wattage and packaging?

Also, what wattage should I think about getting? He's currently in a 20g. So...60 Watt? Because I read somewhere that putting them in a dimmer won't work, so obviously the 100 Watt I saw is out.

that sucks i wanted one to =/ i guess go for the 60

i have a 3x2x18 and a 45 watt basking bulb heats up my enclosure

a 40 watt would probably work just fine, depends on the fixture your using as well.
