[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 136608, member: 27883"] Not the whole cage. Just the basking area DIRECTLY under the basking bulb. Ambient temps in the rest of the enclosure would be in the 70 or 80s. Some species, like Uromastix, need it even hotter. 130-150 degrees for them directly under the bulbs. They move out from under the heat when they are feeling warm enough. I've temped rocks here on a day when ambient outside temp was 112 at 180 degrees in the sun in the afternoon. [/QUOTE]
