I have a spare 10 gallon, what wattage bulb I should aim with a hatchling without being too hot. I have zoo med heat pad to place underneath, I was also thinking maybe attach to side since I was told underneath isn’t a good idea. 😥

a 10 gallon is just too small for any reptile...It's hard to adjust the heat and they have a tendency to get too hot

A 10 gallon is good for a few guppies or a single Betta fish, not any reptile!!!
