Have we gone over the surface basking temps-- and uvb?Hi so I got new stuff for my bearded dragon and I got a hide for him. Now all he does is go inside and sleep. Is this behavior okay? What should I do? I have had him for three years and never had a hide. View attachment 81595
Sorry, would do you mean?Have we gone over the surface basking temps-- and uvb?
What are your surface basking temps? How are you getting them? Stickons or digital probe thermometers - what is the uvb your using ? A coil or a long tube fixture-- where do you have it placed ? Top of screen or inside the tank?Sorry, would do you mean?

I check the heat by using a temperature gun.View attachment 81599
This is my heat bulb. The temp of the basking area is 95 F
Those are inaccurate on hammocks please get 2 digital probe thermometers for accurate temps-- also the uvb is on the side of the tank? What are you using it needs to be directly over the basking decor - I need to know brand and bulb so I can tell you the distance - I can't see what you usingI check the heat by using a temperature gun.
Omg. I did not know that thank you for stating that. I moved it onto the tank.Uvb absolutely will not penatrate glass. Your uvb is being rendered useless in that type setup. Please move it onto the screen or inside under the screen. Your beardie will not thrive otherwise.

Please exchange / replace that bulb w/ this one reptisun 10.0 T 8 - it's a better quality bulb-- I would recommend upgrading your uvb to a T 5 - 24" fixture if you need help or recommendations I can do that also the T 8 needs to be in the tank w/ no cover over the bulb and 6-8 inches directly above the basking decor
Yes, could you please give me recommendations and the links to everything you just said please!Please exchange / replace that bulb w/ this one reptisun 10.0 T 8 - it's a better quality bulb-- I would recommend upgrading your uvb to a T 5 - 24" fixture if you need help or recommendations I can do that also the T 8 needs to be in the tank w/ no cover over the bulb and 6-8 inches directly above the basking decor
For the T 8 you can get at PetSmart - Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Reptile Lamp | reptile Bulbs & Lamps | PetSmart I am assuming the fixture is a Zilla brand 18" - for the T 5's here are the links there will be 3 of them all 24" fixtures for a 40+ gallon tankYes, could you please give me recommendations and the links to everything you just said please!
Your very welcome, stuff like that is what this forum is all aboutOmg. I did not know that thank you for stating that. I moved it onto the tank.
