Hi guys, I just had a thought for you reptilian experts (looking at you Sdaji )
Do you consider a Hot end different to a basking spot? I.E people say "your hot end should be 32 and cool end should be 24-25"
Now in that hot end, would you have a Hot spot/basking spot that's a couple of degrees hotter; say 35-36? Or do you consider making the basking spot 32, which would make the air temp hotter/colder depending on the heat source (I'm too tired to think) in the hot end?
I ask this, as I noticed my new enclosures hot side has a spot where it gets to 36-37 degrees even if I set thermostat prob to 34 - These are Bredli, so I'm not too worried about the temp changes through hot end, I've heat gunned the whole enclosure and cool end doesn't get affected by hot end temps. However, the previous used these same enclosures for the same species, and from my understanding is that, within reason (nothing above 40), it doesn't matter how hot the hot spot gets, as they can just slide out if they get too hot to thermoregulate
TL;DR
Do you guys reckon somewhere in the "hot end 32" blahblah there should be an accessible spot of higher temps in the range of 35-36+?
Cheers ^_^
