You might want to verify with a thermometer after it's been on for a couple
of hours, but a low wattage light bulb (25W, 40W, or 60W???) under a box (or
otherwise covered but not too tightly) should be able to hold that kind of
temperature. If you starter needs to "breathe", then use a more open box
but try to avoid drafts.
