P.s. also where do you live in florida because i live in Oviedo outside of orlando and it never gets much higher than 95 so i was going to get a basking lamp to bump up temp (a small one like a 50 or 60 watt) thanks for help.

I think if any part of the cage is exposed to direct sunlight, it will get hotter than the air temperature...
I was at the beach a week ago, and the air couldn't have been more than 95, but the sand was so hot I couldn't walk on it without feeling pain.

PS - I'm in south Orlando, and on sunny afternoons I try to put my lizard outside on the patio, and she seems to enjoy the sun.
