I had my baby dragon for two awesome weeks! Everything is fine, he eats good, poops fine, etc.

I recently purchased a zoomed basking bulb 100W.

It's 110degrees in his tank, he isn't on top of the log like how he use to be, but he is at the bottom, he is also thermoregulating, not often just whenever he is under the bulb. It's about 10 inches away from the log so it's not that hot..

So my question is is his tank too hot?

He is really small, I have a cute picture of him and I haha.

110 is about the maximum temperature for a young Beardie so I would have thought not. I think the bulb needs to be 12 inches away, or anywhere between 10 and 12 inches. It should say on the bulb packaging, but 100W is quite intense. Try a thermometer below and around the viv to check the temoeratures and ensure he has a cold end of the viv which he can go in. He looks lovely!

He is a happy beardie for sure! I have the lamp to rise the lamp, which is what I'm gonna have to do. Thank you for the advice this really does help me out.

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!
