I've nothing to add to the xcellent advise you've been given. I, too, like to keep my Hoggies at a high 80's "day" temp and high to mid 70's "night" temp. This is the temp at the 'hot' spot with the under tank filter and "basking" light if I need to supplement the heat/temp.

The 'cool' spot is going to a couple/few degrees lower than the warmer end.

You are going to LOVE your Hoggy!
