Hi,
Yes. Uros need a cool end around 80-90 deg. F, warm end around 100, and a basking area around 120.

Thanks Sarah , that's the temps my tank is 
Was just a little worried as
the cooler end is a little duller ( only a little) would this be a problem ?

Yes, to regulate their body temperature!If you keep the whole cage at 120+ your baby will dehydrate soon!I keep my cage 120-90 during the day.

Sorry for using your thread for my question, Sara. My temps during the day are alright. But at night I can't get the cooler end to cool down enough. It goes from 90 during the day to 80 at night. If I understand it right it should dip down to 70 and down to 60 in the winter.
