I just got my baby BD yesterday. I have the Thrive front door 40g tank. I bought the kit and replaced the coil UVB bulb with a 50W Halogen. I am also using the 100w basking bulb. Both bulbs are housed in 8.5 domes on the hot side. The 100w directly over his mountain and the 50w off center from it. I bought a black light fixture from walmart and replaced the tube with a Zoo Med ReptiSun 10 and mounted it inside the tank with 3M command velcro strips. I bought 2 Acurite thermometers mounted on each side and a hygrometer in the middle. My cool side stays around 75-80 but I cannot get the hot side thermometer over 90. Should it read the recommended 100+ or is that air temp. He sits atop the mountain all day and Im wondering if cause his basking apot isnt hot enough.
