Now that it's warming up a lot, I've stopped using the heat lamp. My basking spot has been staying at 92-94 without the lamp on. I think I'll only have to use the lamp occasionally either to decrease humidity in the tank or if the room temps drop (which in NC they do a lot... today 80 degrees, Thursday 50...)
