I only use a 25 watt bulb and stay a pretty constant 75 to 80. Anything bigger gets too hot. Both of my spinners have tops too so it is closed up which retains the heat. I have a cheapo thermometer in both the spinners to keep and eye on it. Find the wattage that keeps it at the temp you want. Don't see the need for a thermostat.
