there's a pic , it's mounted just under 12 inches from the ground so about 11 from him.

Have you tried moving the basking lamp so the tube and the UVB aren't at the same point of the enclosure?

The basking bulb is just light/heat isn't it? It's not a Mercury Vapour Bulb that gives out UVB too?

You should also check the recommended height for your UVB. It may be too low. 15 inches (45cm) rings a bell, but I can't be certain.

No he's only had it there for few days seems to be when he started getting sluggish.
So I'll try moving it along a little so it's more central .
I scoured the net on mounting heights and all I found was 12 inches , the light works up to 20" away so I maybe could try it a little higher .
The basking bulb is just a uva one :)
I'll give it all a try and see how he is tomorow
