lighting

how many hours a day should the basking light be on ?

i have the uvb light on from 8a-8p and the basking light from 9a-6p so the change in lighting does not happen all at once.

I personally feel you should at the very least reverse the lighting now. The basking should be the one that is on longer. The heat from the basking bulb is what is essential to the health of your Uros along with proper diet.
good luck
