how high is your basking spot? pics?

Hi,
My basking spot is around 120F for my guys. 110-130F is the range to shoot for. I use a 150W zoomed "floodlight" in a dome holder. Here's a pic of the whole cage, and you can see the lights on there

What size dome is your ZooMed housed in? Also, what is the other light sitting on top? Or are they both ZooMeds?

Hi,
I'm not sure the size of the domes, I just know that there are 3 main sizes, and mine is the middle one, it can hold up to 200W. Both lights are Zoomed 150W lightbulbs, so there are 2 basking spots. Sometimes they climb on the wood, if it was under the basking light they would probably climb on it more, but there is no room for the wood there

does he climb on his branches much? i think my basking spot is about right, i just wanted to see how much height people had for there spot, mine has a couple of stacked rocks, but should be fairly easy.

>>does he climb on his branches much?

Mine have a basking branch under their light (naturally I don't have a photo) that's fairly high. They climb all over it and take flying leaps off of it - they have no problem climbing, though I wasn't sure when I got the branch.
