You will need 100w spot lamp for viv that size and should use ceramic lampholders with heat resistant cable as normal cable will become brittle and break down.

Agree, with the 100w bulb. I use a ceramic 100w bulb as it heats very quickly also the waves pattern helps their scales repair themselves.
