lighting question

Hi, I have a female Juvenile veiled. I have a Zoo Med 100 Watt Powersun UV as her 12 hour only heat, UV source. I have a digital Therm, and keep her basking area, on one end of the inclosure at a 98 degrees. I have a small fan, that blows, and circulates air through the 20 gallon inclosure. What is your take on this particular bulb? I have heard some bad things.. thanks..

98 degrees is way too hot, especially for a juvenile. I keep my basking spot for my female veiled between 80 and 85. How old is your cham? That bulb might be work ok in a big screen cage, but you're cooking your cham in a 20 gal.
