    It says not to put anything above 25 watts or something like that into the canopy but I have been using a 40 in it for over a year with no problems but it's better to be safe than sorry so maybe you shouldn't use a canopy.

    This will work just fine. They are not hard to heat and actually maintain a good climate for the frog. I keep my males in 12"x12"x18" tanks.

    yeah 26W I believe I have a duel canopy and each side says 26w max this is for a tank that has 2 baby emperor scorpions in but this 30cm (12in) one will be a single bulb holder so is the canopy pointless? and instead should I get a clamp lamp to sit on the top on a dimmer like I do for my scorpions? I had to get it online no electrical stores round me never heard them heres a link mercury Dimmer switch and im guessing a IR bulb is the only heat they will need? that kept at the right temp for day and night
