I have a 75w Arcadia wide flood bulb for basking.
It’s 12-13” from basking spot
Marlow’s a year old in two days time so I know he doesn’t need it as warm as a young one but the Basking temp may be too low? It’s around 90f about an hour after lights on, 95f by lunchtime and then around 100-102f by around 3.30pm late afternoon (he’s usually in cool end by this point and doesn’t return to basking again ) the basking bulbs been in about 3months now so im not sure if changing that out will up the temps a bit or if it should still be good after 3months?
Or should I change to a 100w bulb?
