So my little juvenile Hermann's named Roma is settling in to her new home. Unfortunately, we've had a run of bad weather. Because of that, her outdoor enclosure is not done yet, and she's been spending more time in a bin indoors than I'd like. She's been eating like a champ on the days we've been able to let her outside, but her appetite is very poor/non-existent on the days she's been inside. The outdoor enclosure should be done by the end of the week, but in the meantime I'd like to give her a incandescent light for basking/heat.
Can you suggest a bulb wattage to start out with? I have a dome fixture that will be placed on top of a cookie cooling rack approximately 7-8" above the substrate. 60W? 40W since it's so close? I have a temperature gun on order but it won't be arriving until the weekend... right when I (hopefully) won't be needing this particular setup anymore!
