Alright, here is a pic with the new changes. I messaged Germ with a question about the type of sand he uses and he gave me instruction on how to prepare it. Found some at a Lowes and switched it. The new lighting is shown in this pic as well.
I moved his piece of wood so he could sit on the top...
Alright, checked the temp and humidity when I woke up. After the night without the night lamp on it was ~70 degrees and ~40 humidity. Down from ~100 degrees and up from ~18 humidity. Are these levels acceptable for overnight?
After work, when I got home and checked again, it was 100 and 18 again.
Okay, I am going to wait until I see just how cool it gets here at night then try that if it does get below 65. Just got back from the store, they had everything in stock so hes got all new lighting.
Alrighty, he does tend to sleep under his basking rock or up on the wall in the back at the top where the light doesn't hit him. Never thought it was because of the light.
Thanks a lot for the help, I am going to check if they have these in-store near me before ordering online hopefully have...
Didn't think of that either. Two 75watt bulbs would be nice since I already have a backup one here for when the current one dies. I could try that. The temp here does get fairly low during winter, not the best insulation in the house. I use a red night light to keep the heat up a bit. It keeps...
Hmm, the one I use now is more a flood light than a spot lamp. The one I was just looking at online seems to be more spot than flood. I cant find the one I use online for some reason was looking for it so i could send a link of it.
This is the one I was just considering, for the 100watt...
Hah, duh, I don't know why it didn't occur to me to just get the tile in pieces. I am going to order the light you suggested right now, the wattage is the same as what I currently use so I am hoping I can put it into the current mount I have.
If the temp is supposed to be that high in his...
The UVB is on top of the screen, I use this bulb, the 18" one that I had on my smaller terrarium before I got this newer one.

The humidity tends to go alittle above 20, usually close to 30 but rarely above that...
Here is Set's enclosure. I am very happy with how it looks but I would like opinions and some advice on what could make it better for him. So far the issues I know of, I am going to switch back to the reptile carpet I used in an older terrarium since this sand isn't quite as safe as I thought...
Just joined a few minutes ago after having lurked here for BD info for awhile before and after getting my new buddy.
Name is Mitchell, and my BD's name is Set. I have had him for about five months so I estimate he is somewhere between 9-10 months old. I'm sure I will have a few questions that...
