What UVB bulb did you get?

Have you tried baking it?
And you could always try a bleach solution to clean the log but you have to use like a 1/4 cup of bleach to a gallon of water to dilute it. I'm pretty sure that's what it's supposed to be, I'll double check. When you do it put it in a bathtub or something with that solution and then be sure to rinse really well with water and make sure there are absolutely no traces of bleach left

Why two digital thermometers? depending on the kind you get, most will show the temperature of where the actual thing is, and where the probe is, if you get one with a probe, which i would say it best because you can stick the probe directly on the basking spot.

Any kind of bulb is ok as long as it gets to the proper temps.
I'm still trying to get the UVB, not sure if Petsmart would have them, but I might as well take a look. If not, I'll try to find one at the expo.

I'll try to find some bleach, but I doubt I have any here. I haven't seen any around the house.

For the substrate, I'm using paper towels. I read that playsand is alright for adults, but I'm not risking impaction. I've dealt with impaction before with a Leo I had a long time ago and the results were horrible..
