Too much UVB?

Our enclosure is a 40 gal Zoomed Reptihabitat. Our beardie is 8 to 9 months old. We dont think he had enough UVB when we got him. The light setup is this: all the way to the left of the tank is a Reptisun 10.0 compact UVB. Right next to it the same. These are in a dual structure. In the middle is a Exoterra Solar Glo 160 watt UVB/heat lamp. On the very end is a 100 watt Repti Basking Spot lamp for heat. These two are also in a dual structure. Hot side goes between 95 and 105 cool side between 85 and 90, consistently. Legth between dragon and lights is a about 14 inches. We practice 14 on 10 off. Nothing on at night. Too much UVB now? Did i go overboard because he was missing it as a babe?

I think you may want to simplify the setup a bit. Try to have your heat and UVB over the basking area and allow an area with lower heat and little to no UVB so there is a nice gradient of both. The 160w Solar Glo hasn't gotten great test results from what I've seen so I'd consider replacing it unless you have a Solarmeter so you can verify the output and set the distance properly. The compacts aren't that effective, especially in a larger tank. Your best bet is probably to get a 22'' T5 tube and set that about 12'' above the basking area for UVB, then you can address the heat separately and get that gradient right. Your basking temps are OK but cool side temps are a bit high. Are you using a digital thermometer with a probe or an IR temp gun to measure the surface temps?

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!
