Hi there! We just got a new bearded dragon who’s about 4-6 months old and I bought the terrarium with kit that the store sold me. I’m reading a lot about the correct lighting and I’m wondering how that will work with my setup. It’s a 40 gallon tank with a stronger top that I bought additional in case the cats got on it. I have the dual lamp with one side being the basking zoo med repti basking 100 watt and the uvb is zoo med repti sun 10.0 26 watt. The very top of his basking spot is about 7.5 inches away from the light and I took the temp with the probe which said 107 when setting it on the top of the rock. The cool side probed at 75. I’m wondering what lighting I should upgrade to so he’s getting everything he needs and sitting on his hammock when he’s not on his rock. I’m looking at the t5 so I can possibly put it on top but I’m not sure of strength and the distance to the top of his rock being 8 inches. Any advice would be so helpful! Thanks! (I have to figure out how to add pictures!)
