I have recently noticed that I am not maintaining a consistent basking temp throughtout the day. I am currently using a 100 watt Arcadia Halogen flood basking bulb set with a Herpstat 2 thermostat. I am trying to maintain a temp of 100-105 in basking area but have noticed once enclosure reaches and maintains 85 degree air temp which I have the thermostat set too the bulb is constantly dimming throughout the day keeping my basking area temp lower than I want. Once afternoon and evening arrive and temp in house starts to go down is when I can get my target basking temp only for a few hours until bulbs go off for the night. I have probe for thermostat attached to enclosure wall near basking site since I do not want it directly on basking decor where my beardie could lay on it. Any suggestions of what I can do to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I have a 4x2x2 PVC enclosure and all bulbs are installed inside.
