i want too get my babt iguana a ceramic heat emitter but i have no idea what wattage too get as i know they get very hot and i dont want too make his basking spot too hot that he cant use it. i currently have him in a 75 gallon fish tank made into a terrarium.it is 21 inches high and about 10 inches from the lamp i have a shelf for him too bask. i have a heat lamp rated at 150 watts with a ceramic fixture so im ready too get it i just dont know what wattage wont burn him.before i get comments the lamp is not in the tank its blocked by a screen lid. and any other random info you feel like giving i might learn something i didnt know. (that dosent mean send me a care sheet)
I think they come in 100 and 150 watts. They do get VERY hot and you will need good ventilation so heat can escape. Get the lowest wattage and also get a day bulb since Iguanas are diurnal. Also, if he;s not exposed to sun that often, a uvb bulb is also recommended
there is none it isn't posible unless if u count 0
