OK I've been looking over the temperatures of the uros and the beardys. There both very close. Would a basking in light of 115 be OK for a bearded dragon or am I just pushing my luck?
Ok am pushing my luck then because my dragon is a adult then.DaisyDragon123":gbw31zji said:115 basking spot may be okay for a baby dragon but it is too hot for an adult (appx. 100 - 105 degrees).

So if yor'e getting a reading of "94.5 on the hot side", the basking surface is definitely hotter than that. You need to invest in either a temp gun or a digital with a long wire and probe end since those are the only 2 ways to get the basking surface temp which is the most important to know. Seems like 100 watts would be too hot in this case.
Its one of those that go on the glass yea. so maybe its hotter then I think it is then? I also Changed out the UVB to a Long light fixture as well So I can add more heat for winter.diamc":30ml9poq said:What type of thermometer did you get that reading from? Is the 102.6 the glass temp?
