He's a juvenile - about 9 months old - 16" long. He prefers his basking spot to be around 90 degrees. Everything I've read said that juveniles should have heat anywhere from 95-110. Is it okay that he likes it cooler? I use a 75 watt bulb that gets his basking spot to 93-ish usually, and I have a 100 watt bulb that I sometimes switch out just to see if he'd like it, and it gets his spot up to 110-ish. I have changed the height of his basking spot and all sorts of things. He really doesn't like to bask when it's higher than 92-93 degrees. I have an infrared temp. gun to check temps.
