What kind of temps do you lads use for your adult rhino? Mine is 3 years old now and I think I am going to lower mine this summer. I usually have the basking spot at about 130-135 on top of the huge retes stack I built. I have noticed this year during the day he stays hidden under the cool part of the retes stack and doesn't bask but only about 10 mins and then sits on cool. He used to sit there for hours. I read up on this some and theres information from 95 degree basking to 120 degree basking. So i thought i would ask people that actually have them. I am pretty sure I need to lower basking from 135 to about 110-115. Thanks in advance for the input!
