I replaced my old household bulb today because the temps it was giving were too low. Now the reptile bulb I bought is giving temps too high. It got to 110F after 6 hrs, this is way too hot for a 5 year old, right? I'm thinking I need to go down on the wattage.
Edited to add:
60 watt household halogen only got it 95F over the course of 12 hrs
75 watt regular household only got it to 85F over the course of 12 hrs
100 watt Zoo Med got it to 110F in 6 hrs
