It depends on the temperature you want the tank. A 60 watt seems a little low, if it's going to be the only heat source.

it also depends on what you want the humidity to be. What's going in there?

And what the temperature in the room is.
You just have to play with the wattages to get what you need.

Ah yes but it wouldn't be the first time that something got posted in the wrong area of the forums.
It always pays to ask and make sure!

The size of the tank isn't the critical; thing - its the depth of the tank that counts - we have shallow 45s that are only 12" deep. Since they rarely if ever bask and are primarily nocturnal - although some of ours are curious critters and come out during the day, the light is mainly for heat. We have kept ours at a room temp of about 72 and then use a 60 watt normal household bulb at one end of the tank during daylight hours. Only one of males is regulalry "under' the bulb. All the females stay in their hides on the other side of the tanks during daylight. We have done this for years with successful rearing and breeding. In the wild these guys spend a lot of time under rocks and in burrows where temps are lower and their is a little more humidity. They don't need to get too hot. We also keep our on bark chips (not pine) and have also used dry peat rather than sand and have never had a compaction issue.
