Yet when i go with the thermo gun the surface temps are 92f in the hot end and 80F in the cold end.

So which do i go by? do i go by the air temp or surface temp? If i increase the air temp then surface temps will go up. So now I'm royally confused :confusd::confusd:

BPs being a terrestrial species, the surface temps are what you want to focus on. Your BP will spend almost all of it's time on the ground, so those temps are most important.
