Hi all. I have a few chams in a room together. It is upstairs and gets pretty warm up there. Right now its almost 90 outside here and we don't keep our air on, mainly because its considered winter here and its actually pretty comfortable in the house because of how cold it gets at night. My question is with it being so warm, do we really need to use basking lights? it seems to be that in their room it runs about 15 degrees warmer than the rest of the house during the day, and today when we got home one cage read over 100. I will say that is our one glass cage (bad mistake for where we live, we have another cage on order and as soon as it comes we will be switching him to a screen cage.) all the others read about high 80s to mid 90s under the basking area. I just want them to be safe and happy and want to make sure its not too warm. If we don't use a basking light would it be okay or should we keep one and just put a lower wattage in it.
I will say in the summer, we will have the ac on, but we try to keep it around 85. When its 120+ outside, the AC can only make it so much colder..... I know its hot so please only helpful comments and not ones about how hot it is in our home. We live in the desert, its freakin hot, lol.
