Temp and light help.

Hello,

My temps and lighting setup have been great, checking with an infrared thermometer. Have a juvenile dragon who’s basking temps have been low 100s and cool side in 80s. I have a CHE on at night. The fall just started, so my home temps dip to the 50s, so I added a second emitter for night time. But, this morning I have temps in the 90s on my Hot side. I changed out my 100watt basking bulb for another 100 watt bulb thinking maybe it just isn’t kicking out enough heat. I’m leaving the CHE’s on. I still have temps in the 90s on hot side.

Can I safely switch to a 150w basking bulb? Or what other options do I have.

I’m wondering if it’s that ambient temps are so much lower because of seasonal change.

You can switch to a 150 watt but make sure your getting a temp w/ a digital probe thermometer - IR guns can be thrown off by material or hammocks -

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
