Those temps sound good just keep an eye on them as the climate/room temp changes and change the wattage of the bulb if required. |

Also cover light and drop the temps a few degrees.

Get a bigger tub in a year and then let him out in a couple of years time. Mind you, tubs are better on heat mats so they can get a gradient.
