This is more a "thinking out loud" kind of post , but has anyone else noticed how different temps can be with same wattage bulb from competing brands? my two hatchlings are in 40 gals on the same table, and ive got their basking spots next to each other, so it is really easy to compare heights.
In Drogons Enclosure on the left, Its being heated by a 75w intense basking bulb by exoterra. On the right, Viserion has a ZooMed 75w basking spot bulb . Drogons basking spot sits higher in the enclosure, and the lamp sits closer to the top, while Viserions Basking spot is lower, and her lamp sits higher.
heres the kicker...Viserions basking temps are still higher. Its not really an issue because I can just adjust my distances until temps are correct, but it just seems crazy that there can be that big of a difference in the two bulbs.
