Ha! I just replied in the other thread. This new thread is better. How are you measuring temps? A probe thermometer works, heat guns are the best. If you have a good way to measure and it’s still that low, you need a higher watt bulb to give off more heat. What kind of bulb are you using?

I had to take my girls bulb from a 60 watt to a 75 watt to get her to proper temperatures. I also suggest investing (they really are not expensive) in a heat gun to use along with your in tank thermometer. This just makes sure that the in tank thermometer is working right, as I have found they are not super accurate. Best of luck!

The temp for a baby needs to be much higher 107-110 degrees. Like the others said, get a temp gun to measure your temps.
