Okay so last night I got an acurite thermometer from walmart for 12 bucks. Anyway since his light was turned off, I didn't get to read the temps. But today, the warm side temperature read 101 degrees and the cool side 80 degrees. Are these good temperatures?
The AcuRite probe thermometers are great. Make sure that the probe is actually resting on (touching) the basking log or rock and that you wait at least 45 min to an hr for the temps to stop rising before getting the final readings.
