[QUOTE="Mykilleon, post: 2035437, member: 117837"] Hey everyone! I have a question about your basking spots. When you measure the temperature, are you measuring it right in the center of your light beam, or off to the side? How quickly does the temperature change as you move away from the center of the beam? I can easily get my basking spot to 105 degrees or higher in the hottest point, but it is in the high 90s if I probe the probe just 6 inches away for 20 minutes or so. When folks say that a basking spot needs to be 98-105, does that mean that it should be 105 in the hottest spot and at least 98 in the whole area where the dragon will sit? To sum up, does the basking spot need to be at its highest temperature over the entire body of the lizard, or is a gradient okay too? I see a lot of setups with a single heat lamp and I have to imagine that most of them have the same situation that I do. [/QUOTE]
