Its starting to get really cold and the lamp that I have heating the tank in general has a 60 watt bulb in it, and it is keeping it around 84 degrees and it will probably go lower when it gets colder. So I'm going to buy a new bulb with higher wattage. I would like the habitat on the hot side to be around 88 to 90 degrees, I also have a Under Tank Heater on the same side so that it keeps her wet hide warm.
So if I have a 60 watt, which one would be better a 75 or 100 watt bulb, its in a 10 gallon tank? I don't know if a 100 watt bulb will put me to hot!
So what should I do?

A 75 watt will get you to where you need to be if you are also usig a Under Tank Heater.

Yeah, 75 should do the trick. Since light bulbs are so cheap, you could always just get some of each and test them out if you're still not sure.

I'm a fan of buying several different wattages and finding the one that works best. There are just too many variables in every situation.
