Default Right Size Bulbs For 2ft Viv?

Could someone please tell me what size spot bulb and ceramic bulb I should use in a 2 ft viv please?

I need to get between 90 and 100F during the day and 85F overnight at the hot end.

100w ceramic should be fine, depending how tall it is

Hi mate,

It all depends on what the ambient temp is in the room, and what animal it is for.

For an example, I have a 40watt spot in my 2 foot viv for my Sceloporus, and it's hardly on!!
