Providing a "hot spot" of 90* is fine, they don't need the air to be 90* as long as they have that spot.
He's still very new to the home, so I hear sometimes they will be very picky about eating. Sometimes up to a couple months?
My ambient temp ranges from 87-81 from left to right(hot to cold) and the substrate goes from 90-80(hot to cold), is that too hot? Maybe I should get the small lamp instead of the big one so it aims the heat more central on the hot spot?
