Hi, I am getting my enclosure ready for my first ever leopard gecko and I ran into a problem with the heat. As a beginner I bought the Exo Terra Large Dome without thinking about how big it actually is. And the intense basking spot 75W. Problem is I can’t get the heat up past 30C on the basking spot and only 23C on the ground. The question is what should I adjust? I thought about buying the same bulb in 150W, but should I also change the dome completely? Or will the extra wattage fix the issue? Also in my imagination the basking spot will be the platform to the right on the three trunk, but from your knowledge do you think it should be lower/ground level? Maybe just the stone plate that is on the ground? I just figured if i try to get the heat to 34C on the ground then it won’t sit up there at all :/ I would appreciate some help :)
