Well, using Halogens definitely fixed my problem.
- 2 x 75W = 155 degrees
- 2 x 50W = 125 degrees infrared gun - 145 degrees probe
- 1 x 50W = 100 degrees infrared gun -115 degrees probe
*I'm not sure why the probe and infrared are so far apart. How to know which is accurate?
*What's max temp a juvenile can handle before burning up? I don't want to get to that point of course, but I'm not sure I can rely on my tools.
*I've ordered 25W bulbs, so I can dial it in with more precision.
Do I have the decor turned the right way, or do I still need to flip it?

Your temps are way TOO HOT --- you dont want temps above 110- you only need ONE basking bulb that keeps temps 105-110 for a baby -- the temps you have going your going to fry the dragon -- take the piece of under the lamp lay the stick that sticking in the air on the floor of tank have the big thick trunk under the lamp --- please start out w/ a 100 watt lamp get temp AFTER you have layed the stick part on the floor and trunk piece under the lamp
USE the digital probe to get the basking temp it is the MOST accurate

To be clear, because I know you care deeply about all the mistreated dragons in the world, I KNOW those temps are way too hot. I just wanted to show you where the temps were as I was experimenting with different bulbs. I don't own a dragon yet, so I can still do these tests
I thought the infrared gun was more accurate. Sounds like the Zoo Med probe is the most accurate device, of the two.
