2.) I had a bunch of leaf litters covering the floor but they all got eaten or broken down and now it's winter so I have no more leaves outside(snowing)

3.) If I move the MVB higher, then the basking temp will not reach 140F, what do I do with that? This is where I'm most confused...
You need to take out the MVB and replace it with 1 or 2 halogens as I showed in the photo earlier (I doubt you will need this many, but that will depend on the wattages)...
One ramp = one branch, that`s not much, you need to provide the monitor with the "furniture" that will allow him to use as much of the available space as possible, that means under, on, and above the ground!

OK replaced MVB bulb with halogen. Will take temps when the heat is stabilized.
