"The hotspot is right about 95 and the ambient is between 78 and 83 degrees. Humidity is between 35 and 60 percent"
Adam, the cooler ambient temps aren't really allowing them to seek cooler temps away from the warmth.
The gradient is really all in relation to how big the tank is. Heck, you could have it at 200 degrees on one end and 25 degrees on one end it the tank was 30 feet long..LOL!
But in smaller quarters, it would be better it the wrm end was say 85-87 and the cooler end maybe 75, or something like that. I say that because the two opposite end high range temps of 83 and 95 are a bit too warm if it cannot escape it as needed.
The humidity is in the fair range but I would raise it well above 35 when they are in their shed cycle especially.
