Sleeping during the day/ temperatures

Status
Not open for further replies.
I came home a few minutes ago and Ducky was asleep on his basking spot with the lights completely on. The cool side is 80-85 the hot was 90-95 and his basking was 100. He was probably just tired but I wanted to check since he normally doesn’t like to sleep under his basking bulb. While on the topic of temperatures I recently checked his temperature in the early morning before I turned on his day time bulbs. The temperatures ranged from 65-70 with his hot section being roughly 85. I wanted to make sure these were okay. Thank you for any help.

Yeah that sounds like a good gradient. I like to have my tank range between about 105 to 75 during the day (it fluctuates but that's the general goal) and between about 68-73 overnight. Give them a good range to choose from and the actual numbers aren't as important in my opinion.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
