[QUOTE="Cuttlefishh, post: 2021925, member: 95282"] Hello, living in Australia myself we have this issue 😅 I do a few things: In the summer I do swap out the halogen basking light with a visual only one, but I keep Arcadia deep heat projector which is installed right next to the light so there is still an intense beam. In autumn/winter/spring the halogen goes back tho. Then I hook the DHP to a thermostat that turns off once the probe reaches a certain temp. It's 33C but the probe is placed at a semi ambient location, not the basking. Temp gun on basking hits around 40C so I worked around this in terms of the probe placement. In the daytime it gets hot, around 30 ambient even on the cool side. It's ok tho, they can tolerate this during the day if it's a short time. Just make sure they have a hide and some source of water so they can shade themselves. I also crack the glass doors open a little more to let some cross-breeze through. Make sure the enclosure is the right size though or you will have issues with managing a sustainable gradient . I had a 3ft enclosure before and this was the issues that inevitably forced me to upgrade. Hope this helps a little [/QUOTE]
