Its approximately 10 inches from the top of the basking spot. The bulb is on a mesh screen outside of the tank. I guess its more like a finer mesh. Its metal with smaller holes.

Im using a digital probe on the basking spot and its currently 101° on the basking spot, it’s usually nearer the 100 mark than the 110. Also im using a uvb hood bulb. Its a 22” 24watt 10.0 uvb bulb. I replaced it about a month ago.

My bearded dragon is 8-9 months old and shes 16inches long. She has seemed pretty healthy since i got her, she was eating daily for her whole life but over the last month she has slowly stopped eating. I tried superworms, crickets, hornworms, peppers, kale, basil, radish, cherrys, apples, mango...

Again i use a digital probe thermometer to find this temperature. I will be looking for more basking decor. Until i...

As is, her basking bulb is over the basking spot. Im a little confused should i switch where i have the basking and uvb lamps? Also i measured the distance of the lamp and its about 8 inches away from the top of the basking spot. When i wake up my tank is almost always 70-72° Are there any...
