Baskin light temp help!?!

[Camey]

My basking temp is about 86 - 88 is that hot enough or do i need it in the 90's. Her enclosure is 18x18x36 all screened cage.
The bulb in at the moment is a 100wt daylight/basking bulb would anybody see any problem putting a 150wt bulb in?
Thanks

I would say for a veiled go down to a 60 or 40 watt don't go any higher it will get really hot

I would but i live in the UK and its not the warmest place even when its hot lol. So putting a smaller watt bulb would make it colder.

Unless you are planning to breed youn need to keep a female veiled much cooler. Laying clutches will shorten her life. Below is a like to explain how to keep a female veiled.
