Do you take the temps with a stick on thermometer, a digital thermometer with a wire and a probe end or a temp gun? I have three different thermometers, one stick on, two digitals but not with a wire probe, I need to get a temp gun.

THe only thing is that I'm not sure if you're getting accurate temps without a wire probe, you'll know for sure whenn you get your temp gun.

Other than that, I know that you can go down on your temperatures. Adult basking temps can be around 95 degrees since they aren't digesting as much proteins and mostly just greens.

Yeah, I thought so too, but Spike seems to like it a little warmer. If it's lower than 100 he never leaves the basking area. But I'll give it a shot.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
