alanmin4304 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Where are you measuring the temperature and where is the thermostat probe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlid7 Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 the temp is at each end at the bottom and the thermostat probe is in the middle at the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Have you got the thermometer under a radiating heat bulb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaky2 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 move the heat source to one end, put one probe on the basking spot, preferably elevated on a branch. good for uv penetration as well. put the other probe at the opposit end on the ground , you want to have a hot basking spot up high and a cool area down low at opposit end. so they can thermoregulate. need about200mm between dragons head and heat source if ceramic heater. even temp is bad.bad.bad i hope where talking inland beardies here?if coastal way to hot...
