Im driving myself insane trying to adjust Charlie’s basking temp. I changed his fixture and moved things around a little. I have a 75w bulb over his basking branch and the temps are fluctuating and both confusing and frustrating me!!
Im checking with temp sensor and temp gun. Basking area fluctuating between 80-85. If I bring it closer, temps barely change or skyrocket. If it reads 85 but I put my hand 2-3” from the sensor it is HOT on the back of my hand.
What the hell is up with this?! I tried a diff bulb. Going to try a diff fixture. Getting so frustrated, and sick of the incandescents.
Do you experience temp fluctuations or do i have something crazy going on? Im afraid Im going to burn him or have temps too low and cause more respiratory issues.
His previous fixture was a zoomed dome but it creates too small a basking area.
