I have a zoo med infra red bulb in the new enclosure(75watt), and the basking spot under the bulb is like 110degree. Is that too high? I had a smaller bulb(50watt) in earlier, and the temp was right about 100degrees.
No, I dont think that it's 110 at night where she's from. When I did keep a night heat lamp on in her other cage, she's sleep under it. Which would make me think she enjoyed it! The cool side of the tank is at 75-80degree's.
75 - 90 are usually the lowest temps here during "Tegu season(When active)"
But not to forget....they don't sleep in the wide open. They have deep fresh burrows that probably are about 70. So as long as you don't freeze your a** off inside your house, then your tegu is just fine
