Basking bulb recommendations

[teacherinpjs]

Looking for basking bulb recommendations for 4x2x2. I currently have an Arcadia fixture mounted under the screen and using a Arcadia 75 bulb or 75 w repti zoo basking bulb. But they aren’t getting the basking spot above 95. The lady is 8 months old and I think she needs it warmer. Also the rest of her enclosure isn’t at a recommended heat anymore but I’ve never known if that’s an actual issue. Any suggestions would be great.

That is a pretty good light. You might need two though. It looks like you have a tube UVB. What type is it? How long is it in inches? That helps your beardie a lot. How far away is the decor that is the basking spot. It may needed to be adjusted.

I would also get a dome for the basking light if it were me to keep my bearded dragons safe

Increase the bulb to 100 watch the surface basking temps-- if your still not getting there go to 150-- those temps should be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer- stick ons are ambient temps only- your uvb should be 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor - flukers or exo Terra or zoo med repti basking bulbs are good - I was recently using exo Terra but had issues w/ them so I am going to try flukers bulbs- they are cheaper as of now I still have the Exo Terra in- when I change it out I will be using the flukers- it is trial and error w/ basking bulbs
