The hood uses the screw in bulbs rather than the strip type lights. The bulbs I have on there now are the reptisun 5.0 bulbs. But you said the basking area should be 10 degrees higher than the water but it's not, the basking area only stays right around 80-82 and the water is at 78 so it's not really much different we were going to get a lamp to help heat the area more and hopefully get him basking a lot more.
Will changing how he eats really make all of the shell issues better? I know he needs to bask more than he actually does so if I get him eating right and basking right everything will fix itself?
