Hey guys, I recently took the dive into owning a bearded dragon and was just after some help with my setup to get it the best it can be.
My basking temp sits about 40-42c with a 100w spot light and cold side temps are about 22-24c. I cant seem to get the cold side temp to come up any higher, could i move the uva/uvb compact globe closer to the center of tank and put in a ceramic heat lamp in its place to help increase the general tank temperatures? Also the big rock on the left hand side of tank is that too close to the uva/uvb globe?
Also just after some pros and cons on the compact vs fluro tubes could i get a small fluro tube to fit across the top of my tank? Tank is 800 x 480 x 500mm or is it worth moving the compact closer to the basking lamp so he can bask and get the uvb light at the same time?
Last question, if i was to move to a fluro tube uv light in the tank where do you buy the housings? is it just a normal fluro light housing with a uva/uvb tube light in it?
Thanks in advance,
Dylan
