I live in an old uninsulated house that gets really chilly in the winter. I'll be useing a zoo med uth. Here's my question- I'm unsure of what wattage bulbs to buy to help heat the tank this winter (it's a 20 gallon tank) Should I just buy a few different watts to try? Also, I'll be useing timers on my lights so should i just follow the natural light/dark schedule that happens here or should I be more specific? Or would it be ok to just use the night glo? I don't want to stress my snake, but I'm positive that I'll need an extra heat source this winter. What's best for a corn? Thanks!
 
I'd recommend a ceramic emitter over bulbs. They put off more heat and are much less expensive than bulbs. It can be used day or night.

:-offtopic BTW in case people haven't noticed, "reptile" light bulbs are nothing more than real expensive normal bulbs. Shopping at Wal-Mart or Home Depot will save you a ton on bulbs....;)
 
Not including the UV bulbs (which are needed for corns)

All the fancy reptile bulbs that are marked up in a pet store ARE regular light bulbs. :)
