Welcome to the forum!

It's nice to see a new owner doing as much as they can to make sure their beardie is cared for properly. Keep up the good work!

He will be fine w/ out for a few days -- so shut it off - you can take him outside for some good UVB if your temps are above 65-- let me know when you get it I will help you get it placed for the screen your using

Wide hole uvb can sit on top of screen 8-10 inches directly above the basking decor

Ok you need those probes- is there any decor piece under the basking light? You can move the UVB over the hammock 8-10 inches and the basking light over the platform/ cave-- I would get your hammock changed out to a fleece or cloth one - the grass and green mesh tend to cause injuries to nails and feet ---

I have a temperature gun, can that replace the probes? Yes there is, the big mountain cave

Ok good -- the IR gun is good but not as accurate as probes - IR guns cannot read off of certain materials and can be off --- your safer w/ the digital probes ---
