Those temps I posted were the highs and I didn't meantion ambient temps.
The air temp in the tank warm side 87-92, cool side 70-86(that is near the window and that measure from close to the window all the way to about center of tank I have a blanket that covers that end of the tank to keep the bite (it's about -25 right now) (Fairbanks hit down to -50 lastnight)
My basking spot does drop to 123 degrees (being the lowest so far) At night the warm side of the tank drops to 75 if I turn off the light so I haven't been turning it off but she buries herself in the dirt and under her log to get sleep where there is the undertank heating pad.Do you think I can turn the lamp off at night?
I plan to build a higher basking spot but with a 40gal long I have to be careful of short sides. I am looking for a larger tank now.
Ok- I "think" I covered it all.
