Hi all,
Now that the weather is getting warmer. My indoor enclosure is around 85-90 w/o a 80w basking light and reach upwards of mid 90s in the enclosure and ~105-110 under the basking plate if I have the basking light on.
Do I still need to turn on the basking light or should I turn it off in the daytime? ( I have an HO8 light tube and ambient light in addition to the basking light) I've a 5-month Indian Star Tortoise which I know can withstands higher temperature but I'm not sure if that's too hot when I have the basking light on.
It'll be a different story when it gets so hot that I turn on the AC but we're not there yet ha!
Many thanks!
Best,
Will
