for about a week now ive noticed that june hasn't been basking in the morning, she wakes up in her basking spot and does her stretches and runs into her hide. i dont think its too hot, its around 95-107 and its been that tempeture since i got the bulb in October.

How are you getting that temp? No stick ons please-- digital probe thermometers are the most accurate - what type of basking bulb? Is it a solid clear bright white bulb?

Have you tried waiting 45 minutes to an hour; & then putting June up there.?
I've noticed sometimes it's a behavioral issue.

Try to focus on her basking when she eats.

What Karrie Ree said, Aswell. digital probes are common to buy.
Also, look into eventually replacing the bulb if this doesn't work. & Let us know.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
