It alternates positions a lot. Sometimes it'll sit and bask under the light for a few hours, sometimes it'll sit ontop of the hide log, sometimes it just crawls around everywhere. It really likes to try to go up though, a lot of times I look over and it's not in one of it's two other spots it's crawling up the side of the tank up near the top. I don't have any thermometers, but I'd say the temp at floor level inside is probably 80ish... the wood chips are lightly warm to the touch
