Also what is the height of the tank? Generally that has something to do with the wattage required to heat the basking area. Generally in the summer I switch to a 25 watt bulb because the house is warmer and in the winter go to a 50. I also use a cheap LED light that gives off no heat just to illuminate the cages better

I hadn't thought of that! Do you know of any varnish-like substance I could cover them with that is also safe for snakes?

If I am not mistaken, the height of the tank is around 50cm
