Tokay lighting

[Monza geckos]

What heat bulb should my tokay have in watts please

[Bombina Bob]

Tokays usually like to be around 85 to 90 degrees so a 50 watt heat
bulb would work depending on the size of the tank. a 5.0 UVB light
will also be beneficial.

Wattage of bulb doesn't determine what the temp will be. You could have it really close or really far away from the animal and the temp would vary. Get a digital thermometer and experiment with different bulbs before you get the Tokay. Dragons den will always swap bulbs for different wattage ones so if 50 for example is too hot or too cold then swap for a different one.

Jack's right, the bulb could be 50 watts and get
up to 90 but it will only be 90 from a short distance.

He's getting it tomorrow so hopefully he has made sure the conditions are correct prior to introducing the animal.
