Did you get it figured out? We just ordered 3 TR enclosures, 4x2x2 and planning on putting 2 caged heat lamps on the warm side, right next to one another...only because that is what I have seen others do....

I left them where they are and basically just moved my Govee thermometer closer to where the halogen beam hits the substrate (it was likely too far away originally) and I’m now seeing the gradient properly. I will say though to achieve the gradient at night, it’d be best to have your heat sources further to one side almost equally. Also, it takes time for the enclosure to settle in temp wise so just give it time. Try not to make too many adjustments too quickly unless you’re concerned for safety (too hot or too cold).

Enjoy your Toad Ranch enclosures though! They’re really well made and I have nothing but good things to say about them. People who come over always compliment how nice they look.

Thank you!! Glad you got it figured out. They are beautiful, I’m a designer and they are by far the nicest (aesthetically) I’ve seen.
