 Two 75 watt bulbs

I’m still working on getting Stuey’s temp’s ok in the classroom. What is the highest wattage household lightbulb I can use in a pair to help get his tank temp’s up? It seems to take all day for his daytime temp to reach the 75-80 mark. I don’t want to do any harm to him and use to high of a wattage. Right now he has a 2 60 watt.

How big of a tank is it? A 75 what and a 40 watt can get my 55 gallon up to around 85.

Stuey is a 1yr old WTF. His habitat is the medium Exo-Terra tank. It’s 18 inches across and 22 inches horizontally, it’s a little more than a 20 gallon.

He’s in my classroom and it tends to be cold so he has a UTH and i’ve got the back of the tank padded between it and the outside wall.

Can I use two 75 watt? I put in one. The other is still a 60 watt. It seemed to help but his temp’s still aren’t as high as I’d like during the day. I have his lights on a timer.
