*Im attaching photos of our set up from multiple angles to give a clear picture*
Looking for feedback on our enclosure since our little one isn’t doing as well as I would like. Trying to go down the list and make sure our temps/set up is good.
*all temps are checked multiple times a day with temp gun, temps are taken on enclosure floor for the purpose of this post, during the day I take the temps where she is (on hammock/on carpet/on log etc). We had her tall hut in the corner originally but after reading other posts I did not think she was basking close enough to UVB so we have the current set up as seen in the photos where 1/2 of the top of her hut is under UVB directly, other part is her basking area. I’ve seen her bask for a while then move to UVB side so I think she’s fully utilizing the area on top of her hut…
Tank: 40 gallon
UVB: 18” zilla slimline desert fixture (with reflector, no shield) under mounted. Sits about 7” from basking area
Basking: 100 watt dome light, sits on top of metal mesh lid (the type with big holes). Basking area is between 100-110)
Humidity: during the day is sits between 35-45% (dehumidifier in the room she’s in) but I struggle to keep it below 50% at night - suggestions?
Temps as I’m writing this:
Cool side (on floor) 78
Middle (on floor) 86
Hot (on floor) 92
Basking spot : 108
Are we doing anything wrong? Does anything need to be tweaked/changed? I’m so worried this isn’t ideal for her but after reading a bunch of other threads I *think* this is good? Please help
