Between 28-31c is fine for most/all herps. Most keepers like to leave there's on the 30c mark though.

Question: Any reason(s) you decided to use a light bulb instead of heat cord?

I dont know first time and had the bulb and that ready to go, its set to a thermostat so itll work just fine with the temps weve already test it out looks good we also put in a glass window so we can monitor in the front veiw so yeah i think ill just keep it on 30 thanks
