Recently I purchased a Flukers 8.5in Ceramic Heat emitter it's Rated up to 150w. I use a zoomed 60w bulb with this fixture. I purchased the larger fixture so I wouldn't have to purchase another when i move her to her 75 gallon enclose (the 5.5in Flukers is rated up to 75w). Any who, I put it on her cage last night for the first time (20 Gallon tank). The bulb got hot put out heat so i figured it was doing it's job. Around 3 am I woke up and noticed she was up. I picked her up and she was freezing yet the CHE was still turned on. How far is a good distance to have the CHE from her? I have it at the same distance her basking light is from her. It will only be used at night since she has a different fixture for during the day. It's September and already here the nights have dropped to below 40. I know her tank at night isn't supposed to drop below 70 degrees. Should I move it closer to tank since its a lower wattage? How warm should i expect her tank to get? should I purchase the smaller fixture since its a low wattage? I know her tank doesn't get freezing but I bet the temperature drop isn't comfortable for her. I didn't get a chance to get a temp reading since it was late. Any feedback would help. :study: Sydney Thank's you in advance
