Correct, 98-105 is her basking spot directly under uvb and near the basking lamp. The larger rock is the lower temp and the small rock she rests her arm or head on is warmer. There are hotter and cooler options but this is where she likes. Her eyes are often closed but she is holding herself up...
Aww, thank you for your response! I’m not super sure my set up is on pointe. I know this is the biggest factor to a beardie’s wellbeing. I’m trying to pay attention to her behavior to determine what she likes. She seems to consistently stay in the same 4”x4” area 99% of the day even if the...
We have a bsfl eating dragon!! We are on day 7, last day, of Baytril and Sushi has finally started eating. Her lip injury continued to get worse. Still waiting on culture results. She ate 2/2:15 small dubia, 2/3: 20 small dubia, 2/4: 20 small dubia and 20 bsfl, 2/4: 45 bsfl. I still offer salads...
She favors the optimal uvb spot, she is directly under uvb where she basks. She doesn’t go to the hottest rock or the cold side. She doesn’t really gape, only that once when her top basking was 114 did I notice it.
Correct, BUT since I increased her temps she rarely goes on the top rock. The top rock is 12” but from the larger rock and where she has been is just over 15”.
She is sitting under the uvb most of the day. I changed out the bulb about 5 days ago to a fresh ZooMed, just in case the ReptiZoo was the problem. I give her fresh water and BSFL on her salad daily. I stopped mealworms and I know offering them again set me back but when is it too long for a...
I believe I have temperatures figured out. I don't have a 75 watt bulb, so I tried my 100w. It still gets too hot and it flickers with the dimmer so I only use it for about an hour. Once it warms up it's only the 150 intense with the deep heat set on the thermostat to 110. Her temp is now...
I've added a 150w Exo Terra intense, 80w deep heat projector and still have the 150w ZooMed basking bulb. I removed the CHE. I tried just the 150w intense and 80w deep heat projector this morning but it didn't get hot enough. It's now too hot on her rock with all three domes and she's not on the...
I thought this whole time it was getting much hotter than it is. I feel terrible! Both bulbs were on full all day. I can't raise the basking spot because the uvb is already 12" away. I can cover some of the screen lid to retain heat or include an additional bulb. Maybe some sort of insulation? I...
Oh, so sorry. The hot side. 88 is the current temp (6-7pm) of the spot she has been in since noon, the front side of the large rock. I moved the probe to get the temperature of that area so I could tell you but I don’t know if it was 88 all day because the probe was at the top rock most of the day.
88 is current and daylight temp for her right now. It's not quite 7pm for us. Wonderful to hear it could just be stretching and not that she is unhappy.
