I just finished my 5x2x2 enclosure and my basking temp doesn't go above 92. I'm currently using a 100 watt zoo med basking bulb from his old 40 breeder. His basking spot is approx 14 inches from bulb. Would the 150w be enough or should I go with the 250w? I have the 100 on a dimmer but its not dimmed at all. Should I just go with the 250 and dim if its to hot? Dimming a 250 down to 150 would give off just as much light and heat as non dimmed 150 correct? If so I would just assume to buy the 250 just to be safe and not have to make another trip to the pet store. I know there is probably better basking bulbs then zoo med but I can't order one and make him wait a week at only 92 degrees and I can buy zoo med locally.
