decor as in basking spot? how does she bask if she’s not under the basking light
Just have a log or something she can get higher up in the cage with. She should be able to pick how close she is to the basking light (heat light) if that makes sense?

My dragon has a hammock he can climb on to reach a higher height in his cage to get closer to the bulb.

They like climbing too so thats also a plus.

oh ok so basically one spot for basking and another high up to the uvb?
No one spot for basking and UVB is supplied all through out the enclosure if set up right (which we already walked you through). Just make sure there is a spot where she can elevate herself towards that heat lamp.

I recommend putting a branch or something in a corner and putting the heatlamp over top of that branch. She can climb on it to warm up and if shes too hot she can just get off of it for a lower temperature to cool down.

She will go to the light she needs if you haft to have two separate areas for basking that is fine -- my UVB and basking light are not together and mine basks under both -- but she needs to be able to sit under that light directly
