Temperature issues

[Dgonza33]

I am having a hard time regulating the temperature in my bearded enclosures if I use 100w basking spot is 100-105 if I use the 50w his basking only goes up to 96-98. But the humidity and temp on cold side will not go below 80-90 with either bulb. Any advice would be appreciated. I’m also using t5 ho for uvb

How are you getting the surface basking temps? Stick ons give ambient temps only- you want a digital probe thermometer- - his surface basking temps should be 105-110 till he's about 6 months then they need to be 95-100-- cool side of the tank 80ish during the day - humidity should be taken w/ a digital probe hygrometer placed on back center wall

I have the digital thermometer it’s on the bottom of the tank I have about 4 of them actually. The hot side is always between 90-95 and the cooler side I can’t get under between 80-85.

Basking spot is normally reading between 100-105. Humdity on hot side is between 30-40% and on the cool side it’s higher like 40-45% humidity

If you zoom in on the picture of tank you can see two of them

How big is the tank? Place one of the probes on the spot where he sits for basking- is there a light on the cool side of the tank?

The piece he's sitting on is it slate? You need a piece of basking decor directly under the uvb- what brand and bulb is the uvb?

Ok UVB does not give off enough heat to make it hot --Please try and 75 watt bulb and see where you get temps then -- What brand and bulb of UVB? Please get a piece of decor directly under the UVB 12-15 inches for a T 5 bulb--
