Basking temp for 2-3 month old beardie difficult

[SpyroNexus]

So my babyish beardie is in a 75gal tank and he/she basis on a wood hide. im using a 75watt halogen bulb and am getting surface temps on the basking spot between 100 to 111 and cool side is 79-81 degrees.

is it okay to have my lamp raised or does it need to be right next to my uvb? my uvb is a Reptisun 10.0 and it's above the basking spot inside the tank. Also any info that i might not know about please tell me because any info would help.


I think I got the temps right but idk.

That's a good temp range so I'd keep the basking light as it is. Is your ReptiSun a T8 or a T5? How far is it above the basking site?

NEVER HOTTER THAN 40 degC (call it 100F) at the basking spot.

It's a T8 and i have the ceramic dome that's on an adjustable stand about 5-10 inches from the metal mesh.

I've looked for weeks and i cant figure which basking bulb I should get. I see people say get ordinary flood lights but what if it's too hot? I'm so stressed with this

Also this morning the hot spot got to 120 for the surface temp so I turned it down with a dimmer
