Many questions. Mainly wattage of ceramic bulbs.

So I am looking for a ceramic bulb. I have a 20 gallon leopard gecko set up.

I currently have an undertank heater.

What wattage should I buy? 60 or 100?

Bonus question. What do I feed crickets and mealworms to keep them alive? I will dust them with reptivite unless that isn't good.

Hi there,

It depends on what the temperature already is. If you only need to raise it a few degrees, I'd go with a lower wattage, but if the tank is always cold, get a higher one. You may also have to test out a few - that's what I had to do. I started with a really low CHE at first, but it wasn't strong enough, so I exchanged it for a higher one. I ordered through Amazon, so exchanging was easy.

I feed my crickets potato, apple, and greens, and it makes them live a lot longer than feeding them synthetic cricket food from the pet store.

Good luck!
