its been getting pretty warm around here lately... i have one 75 watt bulb on him right now... its approx. 113 degrees on the basking spot.. he has been gapping or gaping sometimes lately.. however u spell or say that... i've been taking him out more and more and trying to reduce the temp i even took his basking rock out so he wouldnt be so close to the light.. is that TOO hott? it seems like it is... i used to have a 100 wtt bulb on him in the winter and it would only get up to 103. what is the maximum temp that he can bask in?? i have a really deep tank too... it seems like i always have temp problems. i didnt know weather to put this post under the enclosures forum... but i just dont want this to be hazardous to his health
