    I am still starting with dragons but I looked into this and found that in the recent past mega ray zoomed and exoterra had issues with the output of MVB. The same can be said for the compact bulbs and in many cases tubes made in China. I actually was so confused and alarmed by what I had been reading I purchased a UVB meter.

    I can't say about the temps but I notice the trend of hotter and hotter hot spots with balls, few would ever have 94 as it was thought to be the max safe temp but now you notice hot spots set to 94-5.

    bearded dragons like snakes have the same variations in care sheets temps you can check 5 and get 5 over lapping ranges some say one thing some another. I just took the temps the ones I looked at and picked the highest number that all covered and the lowest and came up with 105/70. Kinda a simple approach but it seems right to me.

    I never trust a single care sheet especially as I know a safe range with royals and have seen temps outside that 'safe' range quoted along with more incorrect facts than correct ones.

    How long do you actually see 110? is it a long time or just a short one?
