Thanks all.
There is a great guy here. He says he can't see any obvious problems with anything I have done but still recommended a powersun 160 to replace the other bulb I had that was I think a 150 something. I threw it out and now have a Zoo Med reptisun 5.0 uvb 36" tube, and a Powersun 160w mercury vapor uvb bulb in a 10" ceramic. He can get within 8" all the way to 5ft.
He said that should be fine. What do you think?
Food is crikets gut-loaded, chicken, egg, beef, with cod liver oil and calcium powder.
He said that was good. What do you think?
Temp is 100 in basking spot and about 80 on cool side. Humidity about 60. At night I havnt used anything, temp now at night in his enclosure is about 60 degrees.
That was a week long suggestion to see any difference, and bring him back for more test next week if he doesnt improve. He said he didnt think that was it but worth a try first. No easily detected problems at first visit.
