HELP! Vivarium Temperatures

[rakshasa]

Hi there!
I have recently got a four month old bearded dragon. He has been with me for two days, and everything was going great. I had humidity between 30-40%. And his warm side got upto 35 Celsius and the cold side was around 27 Celsius.

However today I have been having issues. With the UV light fitted, the cold side got upto 30 Celsius and the warm side stayed around 37 Celsius. Any help on how to keep the cold side cooler? I have attached an image of my layout. Please give me any tips!

Hello, what is the basking temp? As long as that does not exceed 43ºc or so, your temps are fine

Hey, his basking temp is around 35-37ºc -- I just read that the cool end should be like 10 degrees lower, or at least not in thirties. So I got a little worried!

Try to bump it up a few degrees.
