Thanks for replying.Hi there, what do you mean when you say it's not working ? Not getting the temps. high enough ? You can get a dome an aluminum dome reflector with a ceramic socket usually at Walmart , Home Depot, Lowe's Tractor supply or Agway. They should be cheaper there than the pet store reflectors.
I have a 120 gallon tank I use a flukers reflective dome that's sitting on top of the tank that bulb is a flukers 100 watt w/ a single done sitting next to it w/ a 75 watt in it. 110 is good that is what you want if she's happily basking there your good but you do need a reflective domeThanks for replying.
By not working, I mean that the temperatures could read 118-120, but then an inch away read 110 and she's happily basking there. Obviously this isn't the result I want - but I also didn't realize that the 100w NEEDED a reflector dome until this morning.
I would prefer to not cut a hole on top of the enclosure and just have a bulb in there but at this point I'm pretty unsure what to do to achieve the temps she needs (in a safe way) while also creating the appropriate gradient she needs.
Thanks for your reply and explanation of what you are doing. Perhaps the answer really will be to cut a hole on top of the enclosure... bummer! But again, whatever is best for the dragon!I have a 120 gallon tank I use a flukers reflective dome that's sitting on top of the tank that bulb is a flukers 100 watt w/ a single done sitting next to it w/ a 75 watt in it. 110 is good that is what you want if she's happily basking there your good but you do need a reflective dome
Absolutely! So I actually started a thread last night but it was more vague and also talked about UVB.Can you post pics ? The basking temp. is O.K as long as she can't get in contact or too close to the basking bulb.
Digital probe thermometer for accurate surface basking temps-- please-- the uvb is fine just make sure your 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor for a T 5 bulb or 12% bulbAttached is new set-up. I fear the issue is far from over though.
The problem is, correct UVB is hard to get to line up with the correct heat. We even angled the light slightly (there wasn't MUCH room to play with here) hoping that it would be more in line with the angle for the UVB, no dice really.
To make matters worse, it's really hard to get an accurate reading from the wood planks.
