    What are the three different lights you have ? Are they all heat lights? It looks like two smaller ones and a larger round one behind your uvb bulb.

    Sorry the basking bulb. On the screen it's about 92 right now. I only have one piece of decor right now so I'll have to see about getting another one so I can place the uvb bulb directly over it. I always thought they would bask and soak up the uv in the same area. I do have a wicker hammock...

    Help trying to get bearded dragon tank situated

    I think I got it figured out. Although now the light appears to be too far away from his basking area again as it's dropped down to 92 degrees after sitting for a while. This is the issue I've been having with trying to keep his tank optimal. I couldn't imagine it would be any easier with a...

    I put it back outside on top of the screen lid. So far it's reading about 102. It seems like it's back to where it was before now though but the thermometer is closer so likely more accurate now. I'm trying to find the best way to attach the uvb bulb now. It's in a square enclosure so maybe I...

    Yeah it's on the log you can sort of see it to the left of him. You can barely make out the suction cup. I originally had the light sitting outside the tank, on top of the screen, but it seemed like it was losing too much heat at that point as it was like 10" away from the basking platform and...

    Thanks again for the info. I adjusted his basking platform a bit when I got home from work. Is this too close to the light for him? He jumped right up on top of it. The temperature sensor is to the left (our left) of him and it's currently reading 110.

    Thank you for your reply. I am going to stop at PetSmart after work and see if they have any of the higher quality T8 bulbs. I will look at getting him the larger T5 light and bulb at some point. I am going to have to figure out how to re-arrange the lights. Currently, his basking decor is the...

    I think some of my previous post might have been confusing. I was trying to outline what I had previously versus what I have now in the same post so it may have been confusing. I am using TWO digital thermometers, like the ones you pictured (just a different brand) with a long wire and...

    Below is a photo of his current setup. Of the two lights, only the one in the front is currently on. The second one is off as it was making it too hot on that side.

    Hello! First time poster, but glad I came across this forum. My son is the owner of a juvenile to adult bearded dragon (We are not 100% sure on the age. We got him in July of last year from a pet store so we are not entirely sure on the age). About 4 months ago we upgraded him to a 40 gallon...
