I'd definitely be wondering if the arcadia is too strong, esp with the stick in the middle of your enclosure, he seems to be able to get pretty close to it.. Have you tried shutting it off for a day or two and see how he acts?

I'm definitely gonna have to buy it now :) It's like the universe was telling me I needed to ??

I'm glad y'all had the same experience, now I know I'm doing the right thing :) He's been happily hanging out in his favorite spot all afternoon now ?? The only thing is I noticed just now he is closing his eye when he turns his head so his eye is pointing towards the UVB, so I'm assuming the...

No :( It's about 1 1/2 hours away to get to the petsmart and it wasn't in stock last time I was there, and wasn't sure about ordering it online without having a chance to check it out. It is so funny you suggested it though because I've totally had my eye on that exact one for awhile :)

Thanks! I was honestly wondering that about the temps, as when I was asking this same question on another forum a couple weeks ago, I got told his temps we're too low and they should be 110-115 degrees in his basking spot. That didn't make sense to me as he seemed like he was trying to get away...

Ohh, are you meaning that rock on the right hand side? He did lean on it for a few this morning, but yeah, he hasn't really used it much since he outgrew the holes. You are right, taking it out would add more floor space. :) I was actually looking for that stick you sent me the link to,, but...

Bah sorry still trying to figure out how to post lol.. He stayed on the left for just a few mins and is back to the middle! Yay! Yes, he always used the rock until I got the stick. That's when he quit basking. Unfortunately it will be a bit before I can upgrade the tank (again, I've already...

Sorry just realized you can't see how the lights are. When it was pointed straight down it was about 107 on the far right, it wnded up getting

Sorry just realized you can't see the lights from the pics.. The stick at the highest point actually gets a few inches closer to the uvb than the rock did, I will have to somehow get it up even higher if I leave it like this :( The rock was 9" from the top of the enclosure and with the light at...

And here is a pic of him. :)

The stick was new the day I took that first pic, that's why I wondered about moving things around to see if he'll bask more if it's closer to the lights. This is how I just set it up this morning. He sat on the floor for a little while on the hot side, then moved over to the cool side again. I...

I'm hoping this works.. If it did, this is how his enclosure was at first. He stayed in the middle like that for about the first day then I stupidly moved the light a little closer and he decided to go sit way on the far left, and that's where he sits every day since. I have a probe...
