A digital probe for a hygrometer I am using a Exo Terra from dubia roaches.com -- it was kinda spendy but it seems to work well - the probe is placed on the back center wall and the reader is stuck on the front of the tank -- I have had a flukers dome for years for a ceramic heater and am using a 100 watt Zoo Med bulb also had for years - my tanks are 120 gallon -- only used in the winter months and keeps my tanks around 70ish in the winter -- you need a dome w/ a ceramic socket and proper wattage for the bulb used -- they are deep domes that have the hanger on them - they work great if you need to lower them into the tank at any time for a sick dragon -

Okay so this is what I was looking at ...
Or

With


But I guess I wouldn’t need the guard with the dome as well and would these heaters be suitable for a dome? Or should I be looking for something else? ReptileCentre.com doesn’t sell the domes so i will have a look elsewhere.

The room that the viv is in is a cool room even in the summer, is about 24 during the day and drops quite a bit at night due to the solid floor (which is also freezing) I think the heater will probably be kicking in most nights!

Does your tank have a screen on top or solid wood?

Solid wood, everything will be mounted inside.

Ok if you get the bulb and socket holder get the guard too mount in the center of tank middle- it will keep the whole tank warm- -- how tall is the tank? You don't want temps above 75 F at nite---

 

[BeardieMum❤️]

Tank is 2ft high.
So go with the bulb rather than the solid metal thingy (sorry I really don’t have a clue). Is 100w what I need?

You want all 3 the bulb the socket holder and the guard- it will keep the dragon from touching the bulb they get really hot and you don't want him touching it--- the wattage will be trial and error you don't want the tank over 75 F at nite - you can use stickons for ambient temp have one on each side of the tank

Heat emitter for over nite--- do you have a bright white basking bulb? That's for daytime and starting digestion

I was going to get the same ceramic holder and the guard for it too.
