Pumpkin's new temporary 50 gallon!

I'm still having a bit of trouble trying to get her temps up but shes very happy and alert. The heat lamp is fine resting on the screen, right?
Also, do you guys have any tips for stuck shed? Pumpkin looks like shes having a rough time during this shed.

How many watts is your heat lamp? And give her a couple warm baths, letting her soak for 10-15 minutes to help with stuck shed

The heat lamp is 100 watts. I managed to get it to around 105 and she is already looking brighter! How frequently should I be giving her baths when she has stuck shed?

Ok, so yes then, the heat lamp can be on the outside of the tank. And honestly its up to you how many times a week. Baths don't hurt anything unless you start seeing super runny urate. I would recommend 2-3 times a week but totally up to you.

I missed pumpkin glad she’s enjoying her new temporary tank. The shed will start coming off when it wants too but the baths will help. So it’s not really stuck it’s just getting prepped. So don’t get worried if the shed still won’t loosen. One of my beardies will look like that for around 2 weeks before he even starts shedding. Even though I do give him plenty of soaks.

Thanks for the advice! Pumpkin's shed came off almost all at once thirty minutes after a misting session. She looks GOREGOUS and she looks like she feels great. She still has some patches left but other than that she looks great. Her temps are good now but it looks like shes a bit stressed over her new environment since her appetite decreased and she has a bit of a black beard. She is still more active and brighter than ever. Here are some photos if you want to see her and her cage

:

I'm so happy for her
(The photo of her cage was before I was completely done so don't worry about there being no uvb. It was added after I was finished decorating. )

If u need more heat raise the basking decor closer to the lamp and as of stuck shed just bath, or warm water in a spray bottle and mist for the day make sure water is warm everytime

My problem with the lighting is that the temps seem so inconsistent.

Change the bulb and get a new fixture then

Your lamp is fine sitting on top of the tank as long as it is close enough to where ever she sits and basks! Mine sits on top about 6 inches away from his hammock and he is a happy fella.

You have a mesh top, the temp in the room needs to be regulated

I keep my room around 75 degrees during the day and it falls to 65 - 70 at night. The heat lamps do a pretty good job at warming your beardie if you set them up properly
