Are my temps okay?

[DinoTheDinosaur]

Okay, I just finally hooked up the digital thermometers, I got an indoor/outdoor one to monitor the cool side and warm side, and I already had one of the zoo med digital therm with probe that I am using to monitor the basking spot. I just got it all hooked up so they may change, but the cool side is sitting at around 77, the warm side is 83 and the basking spot is 107. Are these temps good or? Thanks!

hello,

How old is your dragon?

 

[DinoTheDinosaur]

3-4 months , just a guess though we got him given to us and based on their guess he's 3-4 months

Now that the thermometers have had a few hours to get up to temp, the temps are as follows:
Hot 88.3 Cool 80.4 and Basking 105.4.
He seems to be doing really well since we got the new lights and thermometers. Today was his first real time eating greens even though I offer them everyday!

First thing you may want to do is either get a higher wattage bulb or find a way to get the lamp closer to the basking spot. For babies and juveniles the proper basking spot should be between 110-115 F. As they get older they tend to like cooler basking spots. Hope this helps

Hi, your temperatures are fine.

You do not want your temps to go over 110 at any point. 105-110 is a general guideline for babies. After getting to know your dragon for awhile, you will know if it wants the temp lowered a degree or two, or raised.
