I don't know if this will help but I have two green tree frogs and I use a 50 Watt infrared heat bulb with a dimmer and that helps me a lot because my house is old and drafty.

Thanks guys. That makes sense as in central PA is just dropped to cold and snowy from relatively warm for January only about a week ago. I think I will try an incandescent heat lamp. I found a Zilla Night Black Heat Incandescent Spot Bulb on Petco.com, but it only comes in 50W, 75W, and 100W. Since I have her in an 8L hemi tall, I am worried that these might be too strong wattage and make the tank too hot. I would have a regular light on a timer still for day time, so that the heat lamp can be on all the time as necessary. Right now the tank is hovering around 20C-22C (68F-71F), which image is too cold. She seemed to be shedding some skin too when I examined her last night. Or at least I think it was that. It was a white, a bit goopy, thing coming off her.
Would a 50W black heat incandescent spot lamp be appropriate for a GTF in an 8L hemi tall? My radiators are seriously old school and they are on/off only, no thermometer in the apartment. Maybe a ceramic bulb would best? Do they come in different powers? If so which would be appropriate?
Thanks so much guys!
Oops, I meant 8 Gallon tank, not 8 litres (I'm too metric!).
