    So you have a basking spot of like 88 instead you low 90's? has this worked well for you? It seems to make more sense to me to low temps all the time instead of just night temps.

    Just a few degrees. None of our non breeders seem to mind at all.

    Thats pretty sweet I like how you can easily see the fire butter and spider influence. Some of the bps coming out now are so difficult to see what morphs are exactly in them
