I've had Gemini for 10 weeks now.
We had a lot of sun over summer, so he was outdoors most days, and I didn't really worry about his dislike of the UVB lamp too much, and figured he'd adjust to it. But, he just won't bask under the UVB, even though he'll bask under a heat lamp without UVB.
with UVB basking spot reaches 94F at shell height - it's a 100W bulb (I tried him on 80W to begin with)
with Heat Lamp (alone) basking spot reaches 100F at shell height (it's 75W)
I'll take him out whenever I see the sun, but worried about how this will play out over winter. Any advice, or anyone experienced similar?
