would this be a good lamp for it?
you can use any dome fixture that is rated for the bulb type and wattage you are dealing with.
im not sure if this is accurate but its about 79.3 is that good?

I have never seen those before, I would stay with a dome fixture, you can get those off of amazon

That is where the temperature should be
if you get the 40W bulb and it is too hot, i would go down to a 25W
ok. so I added a fixture to my petco cart and some repticalcium with d3

Okay, so you said you use the repticalcium without d3. that is great! Here is what needs to be added
1. Repti calcium with d3 (Which you added to your cart) (used twice a month)
2. Reptivite vitamin supplement without d3 (Used twice a month)
3. Repticalcium without d3 (which you have) use every feeding except the days you use the others.

Great! Make sure you read what @MissSkittles said in your review as well.

I suggested a 40W @MissSkittles suggested a 60W.
Fchamel
Chameleon Enthusiast
Go with a 60W, so she gets enough heat from 6-9" from the basking as @MissSkittles said

That one has LED. You will need one without LED. i can find one and share it with you
