Yes-- and that is cold- I would try a warmer room- you would need to place the heat emitter top of tank in the center- it will keep the whole tank warm+ you also need a digital probe hygrometer- place the probe on the back center wall- it will read the whole tank-- you want the humidity 30-50% optimal around 40 or so nothing below 20 nothing over 70%

Should I get a 150 or 100 watt bulb

The CHE I am not sure but w/ as cold as it gets in your room that is not good --- a tank will go to the room temp at nite of the house - so that tank will drop to 45 at nite and that is way too cold for a dragon --- you may end up w/ 2 heat emitters - your gonna haft to wait and see what temps you get w/ one and if its to cold w/ one I would advise to buy another or get one of those little elec fireplaces and run on low at nite in your room -



It is trial and error w/ basking bulbs but you MUST have the digital probe thermometer and that is going to tell you what bulb to use I would get a nice piece of decor for gradient heat the wood log is only going to give one heat you want some like this - pet smart has great decor for dragons and I use this piece in my two tanks and my dragons love them
