"I chose 20" tall because I have trouble getting the temperatures right in my bearded dragon's tank"
try elevating your basking spots! i have said this a dozen times here and very few seem to understand or apply it! not just a 3 inch elevation, build UP TO THE LIGHT!
check out our FAQ below about wood basking stacks. you can adapt and modify to fit your application, even use different materials, but the idea is...
bring the animal to the light! don't try and blast through a foot and a half of dead air to make temps on some lame stone on the bottom of the cage! that is why we can use 45 watt bulbs, with 150F basking spots, while others plug in 250 watt bulbs with 105F spots...
in this picture, the light is literally 3 inches above the top of the stacks...
