Hi all, I have had my dragon for about 1 month. I had a smaller tank and could not get things right. I now have this 60 gallon. I was to get advice on my setup. Here is what I have.

lighting: one Thrive intense basking 100 watt bulb, 24” Zoomed with T5Ho UVB (positioned on the bottom-side of the screen. Digital probe temp on hot side is 91 and digital probe temp on cool side is 80. Basking temp taken with infared gun thermometer is 96-100 on rock. Humidity is 26 percent.

Dragon is about 5 months old.
please let me know thoughts.

Thank you!!

Tank looks good --- the only thing I would recommend is getting a digital probe hygrometer place the probe on the back wall of the tank https://dubiaroaches.com/products/exo-terra-digital-hygrometer?variant=21432314265685
I would check the basking surface w/ your probe to make sure the IR gun is giving correct temps --- place the probe on the place where he sits for 10 min or so see where it stops and see what it is
