Viv too warn

[AJBD]

What happens if the basking spot on the viv is too warm i heard it should be around 105 F, but on my termometer it says about 112F is this too warm for my little guy

Cheers?

Most likely dehydration could happen, possible burns, and a few other things. Someone far more knowledgeable about it could help out there, but yes the basking spot is a tad warm. Not too concerning but its best to maintain temps between 100-110 and no higher than that.
105 Usually being the ideal spot.

I wouldn't worry too much about 112. It's pretty close. As long as there is a good gradient and he can easily move away if he wants to then it shouldn't be a big deal. If your lights are easily adjustable by changing height or dimming then you might want to cut it down just a tad but if not I wouldn't worry about it too much.
