Danger of burn ?

[leothebeardie]

My beardies basking temp can reach up to 112F, he is quite close to the basking bulb (about 5 inches)
But i cant move the bulb higher, ive tried my best but it wont go, is there any chances of him burning himself. Ohh also he cant actually touch the bulb...

As long as he can't actually touch the bulb, he shouldn't get burned - 112* is just a touch high (100-110* is recommended) but not enough to be dangerous. Make sure that you're keeping him well hydrated though, since you are dealing with slightly higher temps than normal.

agree, as long as he can't touch it, he shouldn't run the risk of getting burned. you may want to consider lowering his basking furniture or getting a lower watt bub.
