93 is a bit too cool. 95 is the bare minimum I'd use for an adult. I'd aim for around 100 if you can.
But remember you dont want him too close to the uvb either as the harsh rays will discourage him from basking also.

He is a bit small but you should hopefully be able to get some weight onto him.
One other thing is that your Reptisun 10 tube, it does need to be in a light fixture with a
reflective backing to it so that the UVB can be directed downward & onto him. When you
mount it in that manner, the UVB tends to refract away & outward from them so that they
don't receive the benefits from it.
Let us know how he is doing.

That sounds perfect! Great job! i'm sure it will start to make a good change. I'm so happy you were able to work this out.Fury1212":d4nbvwpk said:took out his hammock and now the basking spot on his tree branch is 106. His head is now 8 inches away from the basking bulb and his back is 11 inches away.
