    Trust your thermometer. What feels warm to a human is usually way to hot for a reptile. It should never feel hot to the touch to you.

    Use the temp gun on your own fingertips. They won't feel warm to you either, but will be around 90 degrees.

    The surface of the glass should be 90.

    97.5 is too hot.
