Oh, so I can use that same lamp for the halugen light? Yeah if I started with the DHP setup, when I move noodle to a bigger setup when he gets bigger I'll be able to afford a better setup because I'll be done with paramedic school and be making a lot more money. That's probably when I'll switch to halugen flood depending on what seems best.

I found a pangea DHP light on Amazon here is the link. It was ten dollars cheaper than the arcadia. It's a hundred watts with I think should be good for a 20 gallon yeah?

I bought this little dude as a stress relief and to remind myself to stay sober from alcohol. he's my sober snake that reminds me and keeps me in line aha.. I know it's a little TMI but this little dude means a lot to me and he has the best personality.

I appreciate all the help, no one else was able to explain it like you did!
