Hello,
I recently got a new basking bulb because the one I had before was not hot enough. I'mjust using a 65 watt incandescent flood bulb, but my basking spot is only 90-95 at any given time. My thermostat on the hot side of my viv also only reads 80-85 at any given time. My beardie seems to be active enough, but i'm still worried about these temps, as I have been hearing for his age basking should be 105-110 F. The bulb is in a deep dome fixture, on top of the viv.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
