[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 2021796, member: 76248"] That looks great! It sounds like you have everything dialed in pretty well. I'd try to bring the cool side down a little bit, perhaps by increasing airflow if you can. Low vents on the cool side should naturally pull air in if there are vents high up on the warm side. It's pretty close though so don't fuss over it too much. 30 min ramp up time is fine. If you see flickering in the lights, maybe bring it down to 15 min ramp time. That really kind of depends on the bulbs though and will vary. Using two smaller bulbs is OK for basking as long as the basking temp zone is wide enough for a dragon to bask their entire body (somewhat) evenly. This can be achieved with multiple small bulbs or a single large wide beam bulb. Either way is OK and go with what works best and requires the least amount of dimming throughout the day. UVI 6 is OK in the basking spot. Do be sure there are plenty of areas with lower UVI (1-3ish) and some shade areas with <1 UVI available as options. I keep my CHE over the cool side and let the cool side probe determine when to kick it on/off overnight by setting min temp to 63 and max temp to 73 (17-23ish C). It doesn't need to be configured that way, it's just convenient from a space and logistics standpoint. [/QUOTE]
