True however Ive seen some circundances in wich a baby iguana by lack of experience (?) allowed himself to get way to hot during sun bathe and was unable to react fast enough to cool himself, that resposability falling to its care giver (me). Later the now young iguana would go away by himself when felt it was to hot. I would recomend that in the first times you put your ig outside you keep it under a close watch and react if you see signs of overheating. Baby igs overheat very fast! later you can ease it up. I also think that you should go for 100f but not beond that, your ig will grow and digest food just fine and you dont risk overheating it. However dont forget what Tom just said, you must allow the lizard to pick the temp of its liking wich means a termal gradient in a big enough cage. Also dont forget its better 2 weaker heat sources then one stronger, that is insted of a 100w bulb go for 2 60w ones for example.
