im surprised that a 60 watt bulb is not too hot for a 10 gal. be sure and put a temp probe in the hotest spot right under. i have a 10 gal exo tank that i just use as a terrarium as i could not find a frog or gecko that was happy in that size. maybe i ll try the red eye. the 26 watt uvb bulb in the exo hood makes the temp 100 degrees right under the hood .
