Jobi,



These are all interesting! I've taken everyone's advice and cut the branches to fit and wedged them with cork. Works great! I've also cut a small hole in my screen and added the 25 watt bulb to the inside of the tank to see if this makes a differance. It's seems that all my reading of your post here would indicate that it does.



Today was the first day and I've made some observations. The dragons have been on the side with the heat all day. My male has been sitting next to the light while the others are a bit further away.



Now my question is, do you think that I should up the wattage and see what happens, or do you suspect that the 25 watt will get the job done in a 29 gallon? I've been up and down about this, as the temps seem right. Currently I don't have a temp gun or anything that I can point and shoot to get my temp reading. Just a small digital, which aren't really that accurate.



However, my runt female seems to be growing and today for the first time, all my animals are a beautiful coloration. Might be due to the light?



Thanks for the advice!



Cheers,

Anthony
