-Basking area directly under the bulb should only be 95-100F (36-37C). You need to raise the bulb or lower the wattage. The other temps are on the high side, but okay.
-How cool does the enclosure get at night when the lights are all off?
-What substrate are you using?
-What type of enclosure? Closed chamber or open table?
-What type of light bulbs? UV? What type of UV bulb?

Pictures of the enclosure will help us identify and correct the problem.
