I know I just posted about this in another person's post, but I was using a day blue light incandescent bulb by Zilla as a basking bulb, before that I was using a halogen floodlight. I noticed Draco was closing his eyes a lot so I figured I would do some trial and error and I changed his basking bulb from the floodlight to the Zilla bulb. Well once I changed it his stress marks went away and he was more active but as far as light goes it was dimmer and the temperature stayed consistent around 102. (Draco is 9 weeks old by the way and I know the temperature should be between 110-115) but he was so active once I did this.
Well I decided to change the bulb back to the floodlight today, 1. because it seemed kind of dim in there and 2. I wanted to see if he would do better with higher temperatures. I was wondering if he was acting less active because he was settling in and maybe it was a coincidence when I changed the bulb.
Anywho ever since I changed the bulb back to the floodlight his stress marks are back and super dark.
Help? Should I just try another kind of bulb or could it be because I disturbed his environment?
