just wondering about temps? is it ok if the temps in my girls cage reaches up to 110-115 on the basking side? and 83 on the cool side? juss wanted to make sure she wont dehydrate. But since in her new cage she has made progress shes chasing her crix again and movin around. One more question will she grow faster in the bigger cage?

i dont know about growing faster but 110-120 on the hot side (f i hope lol) and 80-85 on the cool side is ideal altho i have heard of the hot side being up to 150

Babies: 110-115 basking surface and 85 cool
Adults: 100-105 basking surface and 80 cool

So ya you fall in that range if you've got a baby/juvie, if you've got an adult it's a little warm but not enough to worry about.

Yeah those temps seem fine.. They will for the most part move if the temps get just entirely too hot.. If you notice them sitting right next to the "light spot" alot instead of right under it, you might want to lower it a bit..
