Hi everyone I'm really struggling to get my baby beardies basking spot temp higher than 34 degrees Celsius I've read loads of conflicting things online, I've had the probe in the middle of the viv, at the cool end of the viv and now currently on the basking rock but temp won't go higher than 35, I've got the 150 watt basking bulb and the arcadia uvb light, any help greatly appreciated

Welcome to the forum! It sounds like something is up if the 150w isn't getting the enclosure up to the proper temps. I'll try to help you get it sorted. How far is the bulb from the basking area? Which brand of bulb are you using? It's possible the bulb isn't putting out enough heat and a different brand may be better suited.

If you can post some photos of the enclosure it may help identify any possible issues as well. You can upload photos here https://www.beardeddragon.org/useruploads/ and post them to your thread using the XIMG button when you reply.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
