Ok all so normally with the temps were having my 100 watt halogen exo terra bulb had been keeping my basking probe at 105-110, I was happy with this. Last night I came home from work and the same bulb with even colder outside ambient temps had the same probe at 130 degrees. I freaked out, turned off his light and switched to his night setup. The probe sits on a rock so maybe he moved to to an area that had absorbed more heat than where it normally sits? I'm rather worried about using the halogen exo terra bulb again because I don't want till burn or dehydrate him. He looks fine and he's active this morning was waiting on his salad. He's got a temp gradient if he does get too warm..if he notices he's too warm at least, he just really seems to like that spot though. Should I throw in a different bulb or continue with the 100 watt halogen exo terra? This is what I currently have to choose from on hand.
100 watt halogen exo terra (current day light)
100 watt zoo med repti basking spot

and you might want to try a low wattage flood light first. I'd be worried, too.
