Bought my jackson's a basking light today, as it's been a bit cool, and not much sun. This is only going to be used when I'm home, and sporadically, as the light is instead of the MistKing this afternoon! Only one outlet you see.
Anyway, I've placed the lamp, a ZooMed deep dome with a 75W bulb on the shelf above the cage, about 6/7 inches away from Piko.
It's reading around 88 degrees next to her. She appears to be thrilled,and is flattening out, leaning over etc. is this OK? Will she move if she's too hot, or just sit there like banana! ( We had a labrador that would just sit there by the fire, and wouldn't move, even though you could smell singed fur!)
The weather is around 72 today, and she's been wandering around trying to find the sun all morning.
Later on, however, I'm putting it away, and plugging the MistKing back in. There will be tears.
