your dragon needs this immediately if you dont have it -- it will need to go into the tank approx 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor piece -- surface basking temps need to be 105-110 F for a baby dragon

Ok you need it 12-15 inches directly above a piece of basking decor -- does he always sit off to the side of the basking bulb- if so it may be too hot directly under it - take the probe and place it underneath the lamp -- how old is the dragon?It 12 inches away from basking bulb

He 4 months old no he normally lying in the middle of it once the tank reaches 35 celsius basking bulb will turn of I have so should I move uvb bulb to behind the basking bulb I do have a sitting log for him dat he lies on and he exactly 12 inches from it
If you can put the UVB and the basking bulb together that would be great- but when you move the log hes sitting on for the UVB make sure your not getting too high of surface basking temps nothing over 110 F-- when he turns 6 months old that temp is going to drop to 95-100 F-- if you cant do it thats fine - he will go to the light he needs -- your basking bulb should be putting out enough to get temps to 105-110 F -- the 35C you have is not hot enough and it should not be shutting off - he needs a photo period of 12 hrs on and 12 hrs offHe 4 months old no he normally lying in the middle of it once the tank reaches 35 celsius basking bulb will turn of I have so should I move uvb bulb to behind the basking bulb I do have a sitting log for him dat he lies on and he exactly 12 inches from it
