My two biggest healthiest females dragons are thriving in that enclosure with that bulb at that distance.


One of which is...

Pancake:





She has had the power sun 125 at that distance for nearly two months. In the morning she basks in the light for two hours to warm up. Then she sits on top of that log. Out on top of it facing toward the light sunning herself just like she was doing when I took that shot. She goes into the log to hide and sometimes relaxes there. She gets weekly baths. That bulb is perfect there. Produces exactly what Im looking for uvb and heat production for my summer simulation. I phase them down too. They are in a hot phase. Eventually they will get a cool down phase.

I think the problem is that your not putting the dragon close enough to the bulb itself.


The enclosure my dragon is in is over four feet long.


I can stick my hand underneath it at 4 inches... it is not even that hot when it's been running all day.



Pancake is more ravenous and healthy now then she has ever been with that light.
