Please post a pic of the tank-- are you getting surface basking temps w/ a digital probe thermometer-Please help me with the lighting I am struggling and worried about my beardies well being. I have a new 120 gallon tank and cannot get the heat up. I have a 150w basking light, a ceramic heat emitter that runs 24/7, a uvb tube and a led tube for extra light. I can’t get the temp over 95 and it usually stays between 92-94. I have the lights on top of the screen (except the uvb) because when the lights are inside, I’d have to have a lot smaller of a climbing wall and basking spot/cave in order to keep him 12 inches away from the bulbs. When the lights are on the inside they hang low and dramatically decrease the height in which his climbs can be. Right now the basking spot is 12 inches from the screen, it’s a larger cave/basking spot/climbing wall that I put a lot of time energy and money into building so I don’t want to have to get rid of it because of having to put the bulbs inside. I’m wondering if a faulty dome could cause the bulbs not to work to their full potential because it seems like everyone else has a 150w bulb and no CHE in the daytime and still get their temps correct. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or what I can do to fix this? I would really like to get the temps right with all bulbs being able to stay on top of the screen. I hope someone can help me.
I will post a pic as soon as I am home. And no I have flickers digital thermometers places on each end of the tank one next to the basking spot and the other on the cool end. Should I be using a digital probe ? Please no judgement. This dragon is a rescue and I’m immediately trying to make his new home perfect for him and I am a first time owner ! I will do anything he needs, I just need to know what to do.Please post a pic of the tank-- are you getting surface basking temps w/ a digital probe thermometer-
