Thats alot of heat for a 10 gallon.Are you sure about te temps?How are you measuring them?When you say 90-95f do you mean air temp or basking surface temp?Its the basking surface you want to be 95f-110f if that is your air temp then its way too hot and he may be closing his eyes from dehydration and lethargy.kevindeeley12":dd828 said:K, well I have a 10 gallon so the flood light/MVB's wont work. I will have to go for the Reptisun 10.0 fluorecent UVB, it sounds like a good one. I'm guessing it isnt so bright but still gives off the proper UVB rays. Also, for my basking light im using a "Exo Terra" Sun glo 50W bulb, im thinking of upgrading to a 75W because my temp under the basking spot is about 90-95. ummm... should i just upgrade to a ExoTerra 75W or is ExoTerra just a bad brand? Any ideas on a dif brand for a basking spot bulb?
Primo the Dragon is closing his eyes alot for a 5-7 second period so the light must already be bothering him, although its only been a day since hes been in the enclosure. This can't be good for him.
Ok get a digital thermometer with a probe.If you go to walmart you can get the one tats called an accurite indoor/outdoor themo with a probe.It takes 2 temp readings at once and humidity.You can find it in the hardware part of the store.Dont raise the bulb until you get one of these and make sure to let the probe sit on te spot for 45 minutes before reading.kevindeeley12":8d502 said:Umm, the thermometer is in the basking spot, so its around 90-95f in the basking spot, most always 90 actually. And when i go to the store i guess i should get another thermometer for the other side so i can tell how hot the NON basking spot is. I'm using a stick-on thermometer right now, and im aware they arent good. What are the good types of thermometers?
