If you just need a more heat, try a ceramic heat bulb with a creamic socket lamp with clamp in a dimmer. My frogs hate the red light so for us the ceramic is perfect. Put my temps back into the golden range bv without the ceramic, all my trans were in the high 60s. Good luck! I actually bought a zoo med hygrotherm for $50 and it gives me leave of mine bc I work 14 hr shifts!
