Re: sav stay in burrow all day

Hope infernelis is here to read this, and anyone who has good experience feel free to jump in and help. I am looking at your latest youtube vid and I can really see your savs are way more thin and active than mine has become lately. I noticed your lighting setup in the video below. Can you please describe the type of bulbs, wattage and distance they are to the gound and the temperature they are at when you use a temp gun on the floor of the spot? I've been using 3x50 watt to get a 140F+ but yesterday I am getting desparate and got a 160Watt MVB to replace one of the bulbs but turns out the basking temp of those MVBs are really low unless I move them down closer to the basking board. So that's kind of what I have now.

The reason why I got the MVB is because I wanted to make sure the monitor's whol body would be covered in the light when basking. But I have a feeling I'm doing this all wrong and I'm getting frustrated.

I noticed no one here uses MVBs so I'm gonna try to imitate what you got in your video. Please help with directing me to get that lighting setup like yours. Thanks in advance.
