Terrarium temps

[EdwardLotz]

I am setting up my bioactive terrarium. It is 48x18x22. I have set up the basking spot on a cork log. The surface of the log when using the Eletcity 630 infrared gum I get the following temps:

Center of log directly under basking light: 102
Left of center: 97
Right oh center: 95

The cool Side of terrarium is averaging 79.4.

Does the basking light temps look all right? I believe when the Dragon sits on the log he will be closer to the lamp and thus a few degrees warmer.

However on the cool side. I can only get it to top out in the temperature range of 78/80. Do I need to add another heat source to warm it up to ~85.

Let me here your thoughts.

Thanks

Nah, sounds good to me. Temps in my viv range from 113 to 78, with most of the viv being in the mid to low 80s.

I agree, that sounds like a very good gradient to offer.
