When the viv get to the correct temp the thermastat turns off the light??
So for about an hour or two she only has the UVB light she seems ok and looks right at the UVB tube so I think she's fine but would like to know what you guys think :)

I personally never use a retrostat with dragons, I prefer the heat light to be on all day. If the reto is set up proper then yes, it will shut the light down at a certain temp then click back on when the temp lowers some.
There is some concern that a dragon looking directly at a UVB can be bad for their eyes and having another bulb on will reduce the chance of damage. Is there any reason you are using a retostat instead of letting the bulb burn all day?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
