Hello all. I have finally finished setting up my 4x2x2 wooden viv, and all is well besides the heating. I currently have a 90W halogen flood bulb (on top of the ceiling over metal mesh), and I'm having some temp trouble. The basking spot gets hot enough without any problem at all, but the temperature change in the rest of the viv seems nonexistent (stays at 74F at the very highest on the hot end, around 69 on the cool end). Could this be because I'm using a deep dome 5.5 inch fixture? Or should I see what happens when I get a ceramic heat emitter? I have to get one anyways for night time, but maybe I can just leave one on 24/7? Any help is appreciated!
