Yes i agree. He should already be outside. I have looked up more info and after asking others opinions I am foing to use radiant heat panel dor ambient temps. with an arxadia 100 watt bulb on thermostat for basking. And of course the t5. After raising his lighting the 60w flood isnt producing...

Yes i have bothered enough on this lol. Raising lights and trying to give enough heat but not burn. I have to get him permanently outside. Its just getting harder to manage heat and overbearing lights. I have ordered the 100 watt arcadia flood bulb for basking cause the 60 watt doesnt warm up...

Well now I think I'm just gonna use 1 flood bulb next to the t5. That may make before basking temp. Then with rhp keeping ambient temps i justcneed to get ambient lighting? Idk im needing to know what i need to do now with him being bigger. Dont want to burn him up with lights. And thats what...

Sorry but I have to jump in on this info! Seeing that I may need to get rid of basking bulbs now myself? I have a radiant heat panel keeping ambient temps in a 4ft by 5ft enclosure. Working on outdoor enclosure but in meantime my big guy is now 11in. Is the 60 watt flood bulb I got next to his...

So no flood bulbs at all? He is 11inches. Going to be transitioning outside but in meantime have temps at 95 warm side and 82 cool side with radiant heat panel. Have a t5 light and then was gonna put the flood bulbs by the t5 light. Making basking area of 102 or so. ?????

I am wanting to put 2 100 watt arcadia flood bulbs for basking area of a juvenile sulcata. Yes I am working on outdoor enclosure but for the meantime I need to know if it's best to use 2 separate dimming thermostats for it or is there a way for a single probe to be placed down there to dim both...

Yea I went back to doublendonencaude the heat wasn't holding up. Lol it os the reptizoo intense basking. 75w. But I did just order these other 50w bulbs from repti home. Reptizoo has bad bulbs?? Posting pic of the ither bulbs i ordered. They better than reptizoo? Besides them being less warm.

Changed lighting a bit. Took out that dual dome on hot side with the extra uvb. Replaced with single big reflecting dome that has the 75 watt basking bulb on dimmer. Moved t5 closer to it.. think the lights are all spaced out enough. Thats why I had the lights kinda far apart cause I dont like...

It gets to be 77 on cool side and 82 on warm side at night. The mudflap part is the cool side. Dual dome on left (cool side) has che on thermostat for 79 and a led filament bulb for ambient. Then the reptizoo t5 across center and the vivarium electronics rhp running along front of warm side. Its...

Nice. I liked this in a weird way. Lol I was like oh no then 😅

So glad I got him this panel. But im thinking bout putting it on cool side to take che away from night heat. Would still produce enough ambient heat throughoutnenclosure that way. And put basking light and t5 on other side. Also will any house light work for ambient lighting? Using another 50...

I did change it up a bit. But i should put the rhp on the cool side for ambient heat instead of on warm side? That way I can use it instead of che for night heat? I haye that thing even if it is set at 77 But that kinda makes sense. Lol. Cause that would still help the ambient temp throughout...

4 hrs later and Johnny has fresh substrate and new rocks added. New hay and fresh dandelions as a treat for being so patient with me. Got all lights rearranged and rhp has run smoothly now for over 24 hrs. Still gonna monitor for another day. Took measurements today for posts so gonna start...

Would this be good setup of where to out lights? Trying to get rid of che period. Except when it gets cold at night again. Rhp on thermostat for ambient heat throughout. Set at 86. Basking light on dimming thermostat set at 98. All lights set on timer to come on at 6am and go off at 8pm. Only...

Before I finish setting this up I need to know if its appropriately placed. Had to go find screws with point on them cause the screws that came with it were flat. Its snug in place and made screws a little longer to make sure it in wooden a good half inch. Again dont want a fire hazard. Chicken...
