4x2x2 viv
100w heat lamp. hot end 41c cool end 30.
3ft reptiglo 10.0
Basking spot is at 48c also.
Timer is on from 6.30am to 7.30 pm
It is, as far as I can tell through all my research the perfect set up.
I did also put this up on the rfuk forums and the guys on there say that because I changed the timer from 14hrs to 13hrs this can male them.slow down due to the winter months.
I am also going to reduce this by a further hour nearer to Xmas
Not so worried about it now as that would explain it, but any further info would be better to rest my mind
He's probably hiding away cos it's too hot, 48 is too high for the basking spot, it shouldn't really get much higher than 43.
Also the UV you have isn't the best, it can sometimes cause eye damage, and even when it doesn't it often leads to beardies being generally a bit under the weather. You might see improvement in his colours and general mood if you switch to the arcadia 12% (or the reptisun 10.0, but in the UK the arcadia is cheaper and it lasts twice as long, so it's the better choice)
I still think 48 is too high for the surface temp, everywhere I've read has said about 100-110f for babies, which is 38-43C, some places say up to 115, but 48 is 118, which is considerably higher, and certainly could explain why he isn't basking.
