So did you get the temps? And what are they running? The urate looks a little dry -- how is your beardie getting water?

Well I found it when I woke up from a nap and it was in the basking area so I'm not sure how long it was sitting there, but it was pretty damn hot, had a 150W bulb that I switched back to a 100W bulb today so it prolly dried out a good amount. Not sure what it looked like when he pooped and peed cause I was napping. Temps on top of the rock with the 150W (using the infrared thermo) was 135 degrees at the top of the rock. I could tell it was too hot for him so I lowered it back to 100W and measured again a little bit ago and the top of the rock is now 110-115 degrees. Seems to be much better like this, always open for criticism though.
I got my reptisun terrarium T5 HO 5.0 today. Still waiting for the 10.0 to come in the mail.
I really need some ideas on how to mount this light on the inside. I was thinking of cutting a hole for the cord and then using some kind of strong line to tie each side of the hood so it stays. I am also considering buying another hood and having two T5 HOs on the ceiling of the enclosure. Any ideas? Since I still have the T8, I have the T5 and my old T8 on top of the enclosure for now.
Ran all out of dubias/crickets too, so I am trying to feed him dry food until these 1,000 dubias come in the mail which says it takes 2 days to deliver..
