My bad it was only a 40 watt basking bulb. I dont think the tank is hot enough, since he is always on the warm side. The lamp only heats up the 1/3 part of the tank,which is located on one end. The cool side is relatively cool, (right now these are all qualitative measurements). I am going to try to feed him in a different container and place him in a warm area. One of my biggest problems, is when I wake him up, he gets hissy and puffs up, and won't relax until 20-30 minutes later. Then he goes back to his lair, with out looking at the food.
I will try to get the temperature measurements as soon as I can, but I left all my thermometers at home, so it wont be until a week.
