Toothless
Our tank is 4x2x2 and we have a 100wat basking bulb but it's just not hot enough for Toothless. Our thermometer reads maybe 95 but no matter how long he basks, he's cool--almost cold.

What's a better/higher wattage bulb that will give him that extra 5 to 10 degrees he's used to and benefits from.?

Get a 150 watt - watch temps w/ your digital probe thermometer-

Will 150watt get too hot.?

I saw some people use floodlights but it risks melting the tank lid.??
You can get a Arcadia halogen not flood light- its trial and error w/ basking bulbs - try the 150 see where you get for temps- make sure your using the digital probe placed on the basking spot where he sits for basking and go from there

a poem by AHBD (THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE IT!)

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?

Hey! We’re the same age! That’s cool!
Hi there a little update we went from a 50 watt heat lamp to a 100 watt basking halogen heat lamp hahaha I saw some comments about it being so close so I made sure to put it a ruler away from her
Has anyone seen this before? Something in the corner of his mouth
Luna is thriving
