Sometimes it is best to use an incandescent bulb though if you cannot achieve the correct temp.
The incandescent bulb seems to be helping a bit. The tank is almost up to 80 degrees now. He can't be too cold though because he's not even on the warm side of the tank right now. Thanks so much for the replies. You've been very helpful! I'll be sure to post that pic once he decides to show himself (he's totally buried right now).
