Trying to get a closed enclosure set up so I can get a Sulcata hatchling soon. I have it pretty well sealed up. Temps seem to hold in the 85 F range. Just 65w flood. Still playing with basking temps, I think a little high at 105-107. I have about 3" of Fir bark. Humidity seems to hold around...

For a basking light I am using a 65w flood. It is as high as I can mount it and by the end of the day it works its way up to about 107 deg F. That is at top of shell. Pretty sure that is to warm ? Any idea if a 50w my lower the temp to closer to 100 deg F. ? Thanks Jack
