So if u cant move the basking spot any, try raising the light away some more. Raise it another 2" or so away from the basking spot and see what that gets you.
You could try moving the light to the left or right, no more than 2" so it's not shining down directly on her but is still over top of her. I have done this and it's worked fine. You could also try a low watt flood light. I think they make 30 or 40 watt, but the smaller watt flood will be smaller than a normal house bulb and not put off as much heat. I have also used a clear round bulb like you would put above bathroom mirror and have noticed they are not quite as hot. A 40 watt of them won't be as hot as a 40 house bulb. There are so many sizes ad shaped bulbs that if you play around you will find the right one.
I'm using prorep 40/60 watt bulbs.
Today I discovered that weather affects the temps drasitcally! With the 60watt bulb I'm only getting a basking spot of around 98F now. Is that high enough? If not I'll look into this flood light idea for definate.
I just got back from the vet, and after explaining everything he gave her a check over, and everythings all good. I've given him a faecal sample and he's gona get back to me with the float results tomorrow. So I'll let you guys know.
She seems better today with her lower temperatures, I found her sleeping, but not in the corner as normal, and she had pooped on her log, so I assume she was basking mid day while I was at school. She just ate her crickets as soon as I gave her them so i'm hoping things are on the up.
These are some pictures of her set up taken right after the vet visit:
The spare lamp holder is from when I thought she needed 2 bulbs! Stupid mee
Thanks for everyones help and in put
