Well i have the same book and as i read on page 104 it says they have been known to bask at temps as high as 150f,it doesnt say your basking spot has to be 150f.I'm not questioning anybody or saying anybody is right or wrong.But not everybody keeps theres outside as myself i keep mine inside and my rhino and cuban bask at 110f to 115f basking spot being mine arent adults yet,and they sit under there megaray almost all day and sometimes go to the cool side of there cage and i have no problems with either of them growing,plus i give good diet,my cuban is 6 months old and 16'',my russets was 15 months old and 31''.All measured from head to tail.And i check my temps with a temp gun.It does say higher temps seem to be most successful,with breeding to.
