everythings good

everythings okay with koko now, she's in a clean cage and being fed good. she's actually been like this for quite a while i just haven't reported it. so yeah, she's good. for some reason though, she doesn't look as healthy as the other ones i see on yor guys messages. maybe she's just not as pretty. (she's like a brownish color with white spots and yellow and blue at certain times.) she doesn't really use all the space i give her though. she's almost all the time under her "shelter" and will sometimes peak out in front of it but like the other 80% of the cage is not being used. she only occasionally moves over there for crix. i think i should put more rocks in, there's only like three. what is the low temp. range on collareds, i know like 100 and over is too hot, but the low temp. i am unsure of. thanks MIKE

up to 105 on the basking rock is just fine...just make sure the rock is large enough that the lizard can adjust its body for different temps. 105 in one area is a nice temp. I'd say I have 85 degree F spots on other rocks and as cool as 75 during the day. I always let my cages dip down to 65 at night.
