Help with cage setup

My wife wants to get a cornsnake, and I was curious. Right now we have a 20 Gallon Long to house it in, which through reading i've found to be sufficient. I'm just curious as to a recommended wattage of bulb for this size, and should we use a undertank heater or not, and if so also what wattage for that. We live in Indiana, where it's cold more often then it is warm.

youd be better off with an under tank heater ( UTH ) with a thermostat to keep the temps in the proper ranges. Bulbs will kill humidity, and make sheds harder on the critters.

if you do want a bulb, a lower wattage bulb would be your best bet. ( but im not sure on the wattages anymore as i dont use them at all here any longer!)
