Are you sure? Earlier in the thread you said the holes were too small and the mesh was too thick

This is the new tank

Ok sorry leave it where it is then - your distance is how far from the basking decor ? I would get more decor for him and did you get some digital probe thermometers?

Distance from the light to the top of the log is about 10 inches, I have a digital thermometer on each side and a digital hygrometer in the middle. It’s not stuck on the wall because I ordered the one you recommended. Temp is going up nicely, but the humidity is only at 12.

Ok watch his behavior - you may need to get a lower piece of decor - if he starts not basking as long moving away from it they will hide from it if the rays are too strong- that hygrometer may be off too - when is the probe coming? If it is reading accurate from the digital you can place a dish of water in the tank hot side let's see what the new one reads then go from there-- I don't know how accurate the digital ones are w/ out the probe

Could be an option - how tall is the new tank?

18 inches.

18 inches.

Ok so your good on height your UVB should sit about 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor -- let her bask under the height she is at now see how she reacts if she starts showing signs of it being to close get a different piece of decor thats not as close and she will move to that piece of decor as long as she has that option - its easier to move decor or add to than mess w/ the UVB itself -
