Its the larger viv in the range, so would a 150w infrared bulb be enough to heat it?

Cheers

i have a 4ft viv heated with a 250w ceramic, i did try a 150w but it struggled to get to temp in the winter. i know its not ir like you are asking for but it might help in some way. if you use a higher wattage bulb it won't have to work as hard to reach temps

Depends on viv size. Upto 3ft 100-150w should be ok. Above that 200-250w bulb or an AHS/reptile radiator would be more than sufficient

1.0.0 normal royal
1.0.0 mojave royal
1.0.0 pastel enchi royal
0.1.0 cinnamon royal
0.1.0 pewter royal
0.1.0 genetic stripe royal

0.1.0 phantom royal
0.1.0 Columbian rainbow boa
