We have an 100-watt MVB and an 100-watt ceramic heat emitter on one fixture. It is about 13'' off the ground, but the fixture is deep and could add more inches to that. I am using this temp gun:

Anyway, it (the temp gun) says its only 79 degrees Fahrenheit directly below the fixture which is a big problem! Both bulbs are on and I hold the temp gun 14 inches away from the ground like it says to but I just don't know what to do! How should I raise the temperature! Or is my temp gun faulty? it is a new fixture and bulbs and I'm worried about my tortoise (She's an adult Russian)!
