You are really hung up on "expert". All I did is offer a thought process. Erhig is a legend in captive cyclura, much respect, but based on what you said he said, I disagree. If you want to blindly obey what ever he says thats your right. I did the homework. Lewisi have shown they prefer to keep their core temp between 100-105. I would assume cornuta, all the bigger cyclura, the same, I could find the info, cornuta temps are not at my fingertips.
Why would you just have a 100 or lower basking spot???? Yeah it will survive, and even eat and grow. The way I think- its my job as a keeper to give my captive the best, most optimum environment to spend its captive days. Its a constant quest.
I bet you can live and grow on nothing but chocolate cake. Is it really the best thing for you. will you reach your potential?
You just dont agree, so you tag me as an "expert" in that know it all kinda way. I just tried to help his, your, lizard
