Right now i'm using a Sun Glo by ExoTerra 75W bulb for my 2 baby basilisk. Basking spot is about 95F (35C). I'm also using an ExoTerra Repti Glo 5.0 15W UVB bulb (18"
and an ExoTerra Repti Glo 5.0 20W UVB bulb (24" which adding together is about 42" (the width of my tank). They are the tropical UVB lamps. Should i get a heat lamp as well?Overall tank temperature is about 80-83F (28-30C) I've yet to see my basilisk eat anything yet, and i got them last night. There are about 10 crickets in there right now, which have gone next to, and on my basilisk and the basilisk HAVE seen them, but don't seem to be interested. Should i buy a small feeding tank so they get used to eating crickets or let them be?Any additional help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

your dragon might not be eating much because of the low temperature. the ambient air temp. should be 76-84 and they need a basking temp of at least 95. ceramic bulbs (20-40) produce a lot of heat, so do spot lamps (8.00) and flood lamps (around 30). the florescent bulbs you are using do not really produce any heat, maybe 1F combined. contact me if you have any more questions and good luck!
