Basking Spot?

[corruptphantasm]

i checked the wireing its all fine i think my bulb was just bad cause when i switched the bulb to see if it was the socket making the light dimmer it still lit up brighter so it has to be the bulb but glad to say with the Better bulb in the lower socket i should be able to reach 110f but when it burns out im gunna get a mvb bulb anyway.

P.S.seahawkchick22 if your night light was one of those red bulbs its bad for there eyes so that could have also been why he was mad

[james.w]

Is that with both bulbs on?

 

[corruptphantasm]

Yes and its been on since like 11 this morning and its 544 now so ya

 

[james.w]

Do you have 2 115 basking spots than?

 

[corruptphantasm]

its one but it ended up getting like 118 119 i think that might be too hot?
And what should the cold side be?

 

[james.w]

High 70's is good.

ok so whats the max the basking spot should be? and my cool side is like low 80s and currently my basking spot is 110

I got the temp of the basking spot from 102 to 106 by just adding a deep dome lamp fixture... I am using a 100 watt Powersun 14" above the basking area.

 

[james.w]

If you can keep those temps you're good.

If you can keep those temps you're good.

lol thats alot harder than it should be for some reason

 

[james.w]

A little fluctuation Either way won't hurt. Some keepers offer basking spots up to 125 for their Tegus.
