I do agree with Pdragon1, I have found that as well that different morphs do prefer different temps, mostly due to the amount of dark pigment in them. I have never had a dragon, including females that are gravid want to bask that high. I have hatched out thousands of babies and still have yet to have a dragon prefer that high a temp. I do agree you can set up the tank with a high heat spot without disturbing the ambiant temps but like I said when my dragons never go in the extreme heat, and I have 20 years of healthy dragons and breedings I dont see the reason to get it that hot. Pdragon1 is also correct while most people see dragons as desert animals truth is in the wild they are found in the shrub and grasslands back Australia as well as the higher desert areas. Well I am not posting any more on temps. I think people get it by now, or we have just scared them off!!!HA HA. Anyway if you guys want info on the research my brother is working on let me know. Such as the venom in the bearded dragons... He (well a giant team) found that beardies have a toxin in their venom that is only found in the rattlesnakes..... (YES I SAID VENOM)!!!!!!!!!!
