So Zero's been a bit strange lately in that he refuses to bask on his basking rock. The basking temp is always between 105F & 110F (I've been trying different levels to see what he prefers) but he always leaves after a few moments and either sits on the floor or goes on his hammock and stays below that lamp which is anywhere between 90F-95F.
He's in a 40gal breeder and is almost 5 months old. I don't think he's old enough to lower his basking temps, but he seems to prefer cooler temps. This normal? Oh and for his basking light he's on a 60W halogen spot on a dimmer.
I'm thinking he may be too close to his UVB while on his basking rock, and I do plan to get him a lowered basking spot, but I also figured I'd see what everyone else thinks. Thanks guys!
