Ideal Temps

[Randi]

I own a Cherry Head, about 56 grams in size - still very young and I would like to compare temperatures. What is your basking spot, warm side, cool side and night time temps? I'd like to make sure I am in the right gradient for temp.

Thanks for any advice

My reds are hitting 2 years old, so they're a bit larger and hardier. My temps (for winter) during the day: basking spots- 96F (shell temp), warm spots- 82F, cool spots- 78F. Temps during the night: 78F to 74F.

During summer, day time is usually 85-82F and night is around 80-78F.

I played it safe and conservative during their first year and never let the temps drop below 80 at all times.

I think my RF is 4-5 years old, she is about 8 inches long. Her basking spot is between 95-100F and her cold spot is about 80-85F. At night her temps can drop maybe 2-3 degrees. I don't like having her temps drop below 80 because her humidity is at a constant 80-90% on the cooler side.
