    I have a couple basking areas (One suction branch on a heat pad, behind her hide and behind half her hidey log) and that go up to 100 to 105° which she occasionally utilizes.
    But considering she’s cold blooded when I use my temperature gun she is almost always 80° (78 to 82°) which It’s hard especially when she is all up on the heat.

    I actually have two heating pads (total of 4!) stuck on the vertical ends of her warm side as well to maintain the proper ambient.

    Am I doing OK in this?
    The answer is no. Your enclosure is too hot. The maximum temperature in your enclosure should be 94 degrees. See our care sheet.
