Hello again,
So right now i have a 150w heat bulb in my 40 gallon tank. I notice as of late that My BD doesn't bask under his light. As you can see in the pic he bask several inches away from where his basking spot is. Now i don't have a temp gun as Im currently working on finding one to check the actual temp. So im wondering is it possible that the light is too hot for my BD. Im wondering should i raise the heat light a bit up to put a distance from the light and basking spot. As you can see in the pic his tree basking point is about 4 inches from the basking spot.
I also notice that he sometimes don't even bask and i will come home finding him in his hiding spot under the log. I been watching him checking for sign of illness hes very alert follow me with his eyes wherever i go, He perk up his head when i pop in the room. I give him baths every 3rd day to make him poop in the bath instead of the cage, helps keep the cage clean. Is poop in the water is solid with the white poop thing at the end. He is eating but only superworms,
I live in Canada an temp are starting to drop getting ready for Fall. So i don't know if he's going into brumation or not. Overall just wanted to get some insights from you guys. I know first thing i need to do is find out the temp or that baskin spot.
Also I been having trouble finding a T5 22" reptisun but everywhere i look they wanna charge a arm and a leg for it online. My local petstore only carrys the T8 bulbs and the coils. I keep hearing mix review that the coil is bad for the BD. But i also hear that some BD owner say the coil is good and that their BD loves it.
