Basking temp limit?

[Raikachu]

Just wondering what could be too hot for a basking spot? Seems like the one I have set up stays around 100-105 (it's at 105 right now) but I'm just wondering at what temperature it might be recommended to turn the light off for a bit? His hot and cool side are perfect at 90 and 80 so if he needs to he could cool off, but I wanna make sure his baking doesn't get too hot for obvious reasons. I've seen some articles recommend 95-105 is good and others that say 100-115 is good. What do you guys recommend?

I have my hot bask at 102-105 and the cool bask @ 85-90.

And I have areas that go about 80 during the day and the whole tank goes to 70-75 at night.

Just got him. Tested temps for days to confirm consistently. Just a bit paranoid about the hot bask temp.

But he stayed there all day and seemed perfectly happy.

Looking for confirmation on my temps & setup.

85-90 on cool side is too hot-- if this temp is around your hot side its good if its on the cool side of the tank you want low 80's - surface basking temps are good - if hes staying and basking there for long periods of time your good - if hes moving after only 5-10 or so not so much- ambient temps at night are good too --
