Hi everyone. I need help! Ive inherited an uncared for dragon whose 3.5 yrs old. He is massive, was in a 2ft vivarium with a u v strip and a ceramic heater. No basking bulb.
We adore him and want to make him happy. We've bought him a 4ft viv that came with uv strip, 100w basking bulb and dimming thermostat. Great.
Thing is now ive put him in be cant sit under the basking bulb for more than 2 mins as hes obviously uncomfortably hot and mouth gaping. Im presuming its just because he hasn't been used to the higher temperature but my biggest question is what temperature should i have selected on my dimming thermostat to get him comfortable?
