Posted by: ckingii at Thu Jan 22 19:44:23 2009 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by ckingii ] The 100W red bulb sounds about right. I just used an IR thermometer to measure the skin (and thus approximate body) temp on a few of my frillies. Their temps ranged from 85-94F. The 85 reading is a little low for my taste, but it's one of the shy females (#3) and she would rather hide than bask in the warmth. I need to direct more heat on her hiding spot. Your 80' reading sounds a little low if it's under the heat light. You would like the basking spot to be in the 95-105 range. If you provide a warm spot like this at one end of the tank, he can warm up there and then find just the right temp to hang out at. If you provide a proper heat gradient, there won't be any danger of cooking your little guy. If he's too hot he'll move to a colder spot. If you don't provide enough heat, he will suffer a variety of problems: poor growth, infections, not eating, listlessness regurgitation and eventually death.
