Please tell me what your using for a UVB ---- brand and bulb --- coil or tube? Where in the tank is it top of screen or inside the tank ?

also you can get this at petsmart or petco https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/environmental-control-and-lighting/zoo-med-reptile-terrarium-digital-thermometer-14914.html?cgid=500202
before you do anything w/ the basking bulb we need to figure out temps if the stick on says 90 that is ambient temp- we need actual basking temps so when you get the probe take and place it on his spot where he basks for 10 minutes get the temp we will go from there

https://www.pangeareptile.com/store/zoo-med-reptisun-t5-ho-terrarium-hood.html you want a 24" - it comes w/ a 5.0 bulb that is not strong enough but it can be used as a back up if you ever need it and you need to order this bulb
https://www.pangeareptile.com/store/zoo-med-reptisun-10.0-uvb-t5.html order the 22" bulb -- this can sit on top of your tank - the bulb is good for a year or so it will need to be change out in approx one year --
Next you need to get the digital probe thermometer so when you change the basking bulb out you have it on hand you dont want to burn him up -- I would start w/ a 100 watt and they look like this
