Thanks, guys. Some answers:



- The cage height is 18".

- The bulb is 65w (dimmed to around 30%) and is around 4-5" from the rock. I used the rock since its elevation provides a peak basking spot of around 115* and multiple other basking temps while maintaining around 90* on the hot side.

- The cage is actually pretty bright given the basking bulb and the Reptisun 10, which runs along the top of the cage nearest to the glass.



Should I get rid of the rock and just use the log? I can increase the basking temp by not dimming the bulb as much.



Also, given how skittish the baby is, should I allow any hide spots such as the area behind the rock?



Thanks again,

Bruce
