Shorty's Mom, is your ATBA completely surrounded with the screen? Is there screen between the lights and the basking dock? If there is, you should remove that portion. Screens filter out a lot of beneficial UVA/B rays.

what it used 2 look like


updated pic as of a few minutes ago





Durning the day his basking area gets heated up to 91 degrees

i have a question is it normal for a turtle to try to bite the digital probe on the thermometers cause leo was trying to eat them at first hes finally realized their not food thankfully

yeah, the way they explore things is by sticking things in their mouth. Once they realize it isn't edible, they should stop chewing on it. If they keep doing it, you might have to find a way to keep it out of their reach.

Nope, there is a hole where the light is so there is no filtering, you just can't see it from that angle. Thanks though!
