Hey guys…I just got a 4 month old beardie last week but I’m having trouble keeping his basking spot temp around 100-115. I have a 100 watt basking bulb with a digital probe thermometer. It reads anywhere from 93-98. I wonder if that’s causing him to have trouble digesting his food properly cuz i noticed the last day or so his poop has been different. Please help

How many inches away from the basking bulb is your basking spot? What are your temps on the coola and warm side? also what kind of uvb do you use and is it on the screen or inside the tank?

If possible i would reccomend raising the basking spot as long as it doesnt get to close to the uvb or bulb( id look up the reccomended distance). if not possible you might want to switch from a 100 watt to a 150 watt. You might need a new lamp depending on how many watts yours can take if you switch.

From what I've heard yes proper temps are very important with digestion but if after getting proper temps they are still having problems you will probably need advice from someone with a little more expierience because I am pretty new to this
