I just upped Figment's basking lamp to a 150w bulb. I put a perfectly good piece of wood-shaped resin under it, but came home to find him on the floor where he prefers to bask. He hasn't used a branch for basking since he was a baby, though I do try to provide him with a range of places to bask other than the floor.
Anyhoo, the temps I'd like to check are these:
Basking spot, directly under bulb, measured via temp gun - 97.7f
Ambient Temp, close to the basking spot, measured via Accurite thermometer/ hygrometer - 88f
Cool Side Ambient Temp, same device - 75f
The humidity is different on the warm and cool sides of the tank... don't know if this is odd, or if it means that the device is off-kilter, or if it's normal. 35% cool side, 26% warm side.
Do these sound like reasonable numbers? They check out based on the care sheets I've read, but I wanted opinions from the veteran dragon keepers.
