I just got this little guy a few days ago after loosing one very suddenly. I thought I had done everything right with lighting the last time but it seems maybe I hadn’t.
I have changed my lighting this time, I have a Reptisun T5 HO 10 UVB, one side of the dome has a Solar Glo 160w and the other side has a coil that is turned off. On the cool wide I have a 60w LED just for light.

What are the temperatures you're getting with this setup?

How close is the solar glo to where he is on that hammock?
I think the solarglo is overkill uvb wise since the t5 already puts out so much.

The basking temp is 104°, I’m not sure about the cool side yet, I just set it up this morning. Would the T5 HO 5.0 be better, I have that bulb too. T5 is 8 inches from the hammock, the Solar Glo is 12 inches from the hammock

The T5 is way better bulb but on top of the mesh? It really needs to go inside the tank-- the screen filters out alot of the UVB if its a fine mesh --- if its a wider hole screen then its fine--- and I would put it 10-11 inches from basking spot--

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
