[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 2014389, member: 76248"] Very nice looking little guy there! Looks like a frustrating all-limb shed about to get going too =). If the basking area is in the 38-42ish range in an area that is large enough to allow for even basking, meaning at least the diameter of the length of your dragon, then the other temps aren't as important. After that, the important thing is to have a gradient and allow for options (Same with UVB). You'll find that they move around a lot over the course of the day and what they want in terms of temp and UVB exposure varies quite a lot. Hitting those basking temps are helpful in case they need a lot of heat to digest, but they won't always want it. The range is also a general guidance based on experience. It's always a good idea to fine tune and adjust based on your dragon's individual preferences which you'll discover over time. As far as the requirements for leatherbacks, I'm not aware of them requiring different temps. Silkbacks might require some different care and less intense temps/UVB, but I don't think that's the case for leatherbacks. Just give the current setup a shot and observe. Make tweaks as you go along and don't be afraid to try out some different lighting and temp settings to see how they go over. [/QUOTE]
