Ok. Thank you. Yeah I bought the same basking light as the one I had but at 100W. Here is the temp now. Should I go get a 150W? Or does that look ok? That’s usually where he basks all the time which his why I put his thermometer at that level. His light just went off so I’ll keep an eye on the temps at night to see how far it drops. It’s 71 in our house now. We don’t keep it below 65 in here but I’ll keep a lookout.You want a basking bulb like the one you have and the UVB that you ordered - that is all the lighting you need --- if your tank is ever not staying warm enough at night like if it drops below 65 then you want a ceramic heat emitter or CHE- that would sit in a dome on top of the tank center it emits heat NO light --
Is there a probe on the digital probe thermometer-? Also the green hammocks are notorious for causing sprains hurt nails they get caught - I would change it out for a cloth or fleece- check etsy.com or pampered beardies.comOk. Thank you.

No it’s just one that sticks to the side. Is there one you can recommend?Is there a probe on the digital probe thermometer-? Also the green hammocks are notorious for causing sprains hurt nails they get caught - I would change it out for a cloth or fleece- check etsy.com or pampered beardies.com
Zoo Med digital probe -- found at Pet Smart or Petco --No it’s just one that sticks to the side. Is there one you can recommend?
Oh shoot really? I’m doing everything wrong. I’ll order him one right now. He absolutely loves hammocks. Thanks for the links.
Hi all!!! The new Arcadia bulb kit just arrived today!!!! I was so anxious waiting for it!Hello,
How are things going, have you gotten the new light in yet? Please keep us posted on how
things are progressing. We all hope for a full recovery for him!

Ok you want him to be able to sit directly under that UVB 8-10 inches --- watch his behavior and the twitching hopefully this is going to take care of this issue -Hi all!!! The new Arcadia bulb kit just arrived today!!!! I was so anxious waiting for it!
He has a higher watt basking bulb in and his temps have been reading around 94/97. I’ll buy a probe thermometer this weekend.
His cloth hammocks have been ordered and they’ll be here this weekend.
Does anyone know how long I should give this to see improvements in the twitching?
Here’s how it looks right now with the new bulb. Is this ok?
I’ve been giving him calcium every couple of days but he’s slowed down right now with brumating but he really enjoys the new basking bulb.
Thank you for everyone’s input and help. I thought I was doing well. But apparently not. I hope I didn’t hurt my sweet boy.
Great thank you so much! I just measured and he’s about 8 inches from the light.Ok you want him to be able to sit directly under that UVB 8-10 inches --- watch his behavior and the twitching hopefully this is going to take care of this issue -
thank you! So he basks pretty much all day right now. He loves his hammock so much he doesn’t go under his rock much at all. I have the bulb right next to the heat dome and have both as much directly over him as possible. Per Karrie’s suggestion it’s the T5 bulb. Right now he just is sleeping in his hammock all day. Like I mentioned before even when he’s not trying to brúmate he only goes to the cool side to poop. So thankfully getting him all day exposure to the bulb will not be an issueHello,
That looks great, overall. As Karrie suggested, maybe try to get his tube bulb over him a little more.
It sounds like he is enjoying it though! Hopefully this will fix the issues for him. The tank looks nice
& bright for him. It is hard when they decide to slow down & try to brumate. Keep encouraging him
to bask daily if even for half a day or so. You purchased the T8 or the T5 high output tube bulb?
Depending on how low his levels may be, & how often he sits under his UVB will dictate how quickly
his twitching will go away. They all seem to respond in slightly different ways.
We are all pulling for a full recovery for him!
