Okay I will get the 50watt basking lamp

Just keep in mind, you’ll likely have to raise or lower the bulb to get the correct temp. Depending on the brand, 50 watt might be too low. Be sure to check the heat/height chart on the back.

I only said 50W because of the tank size

Do you know what kind of night light I can use?

Ceramic heat emitters really get the job done, just make sure it doesn’t overheat. It might be a good idea to put it on a thermostat so that you can regulate them.

Just get one that says basking and isn’t a spot lamp. No colors they dye substrate

What Watt do you think would be suitable for my tank/tortoise

I think a 50 would be good I have a tank about that big with a ball python in it and 50 works but you never know for sure until you set it up
