Hello-I've got some lighting/heat questions regarding our current setup. Advice would be greatly appreciated!
We've got a 13-14 month old beardie. Currently he lives in a ReptiZoo 120 gallon 48" x 24" x 24" tank with the black back and sides. We have the Carolina Custom Cages 34" T5HO UVB +Double GU10 Basking light fixture, which has a Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 uvb T5HO 39W 34" tube and 2 of the 75w arcadia bulbs for basking in that fixture. We also have an Arcadia deep heat projector sitting on top of the mesh for cooler nights if needed.
Recently he started having digestive issues and has started glass surfing. It was recommended that we lower the fixture (it was really high in the tank at 18"). I just want to get his temps right and there's so much conflicting info out there. I have been using a Carolina Customs IR temp gun as well as a ZooMed probe. The probe seems to take forever and the screen on it acts crazy at times. The difference between the probe and gun is significant at times and it's hard to tell what's correct. Does anyone have a probe that they could recommend?
Trying to cover his reflection on the black glass has been difficult to put it mildly-any advice on that would also be great if anyone has ideas.
