Temp/heat bulb?

[kayladye59]

Hey guys! I currently am using this heat bulb 8 o’clock in the morning to 8 o’clock at night and my ambient temperature seems to be around 72. Would you guys suggest me getting another heat lamp or would that be too much for him? Or what should I do to bring temp up??

It does drop to 65-67 at night

What are basking temps? Even 48 degrees is fine at night.

A day time high of 72 is fine too. Ideally the heatbulb would pop him into the 80's in the basking area.

Yes the basking area is 80-82 usually but I just wanted to make sure

You are getting the levels you want. Basking temp should be the hottest part in the cage 80-85 max. Then the rest of the cage should drop in temp. You should see your coolest temps towards the bottom. But low 70's for ambient is good.
