Crap. I HATE when my fingers don't work. Please forgive fat fingers, relaxing on a Sun nite prior to work, and trying to forget reality.

Enkneeweigh... Where was I?

Oh? It didn't post? GOOD! I hate being a dufus. Oh, well. I should be used to it by now... Enkneeweigh...

No. You do not want a heat lamp. You want a red - for nite - 40-60 watt, looks like a normal lite bulb but red - depending upon circumstances, location, general warmth of overall house, etc. - use your judgement.

Use your thermo-meter to guide you, kiddo. To tell you if you need [at nite] a 40 or 60 or NOTHING bulb. Use your knowledge, ambient temps, location, what's going on... To guide you.

There's nothing written in stone about this, but what the snakey-poos need.

P.S. Snot much difference between 40 and 60 watts but more heat more heat output. And the difference in a small space is negligible. I go with 60, but if they're not in stock when I go to get a new one, 40 watt keeps me happy.

Just learn, take in what everyone tells you, learn some more, and go with an over all plan based on what you've learned and works.

Again, just keep the snigglettes at the forethougt o'your mind; put them first and you should be otay.
