Hello,
I have been working to get my temps in my enclosure up to above 100 degrees. What I have noticed is that my dragon's tree is close enough to the top of the tank that it gets very hot to the touch. Which worries me. The instructions for the UVB light that I have say that it should be a minimum of 12 inches above the reptile. In my case its more like 7 inches due to the height of the tree.
Has anyone else run into this problem? My choices seem to be: lower the height of the tree (difficult) or raise the lamps above the top of the tank. Has anyone done the latter? Bricks seem too heavy and they obscure some of the light.
I would love to hear any tips on this.
Thanks.
David
