Gaping is good --- you want the temps 95-100 for him --- when they gape they are adjusting the body temp -- its a good thingOk I’ll leave it inside. After I turn on all lights and it warms a bit I get him outta his little bed and sit him in his basking area. That’s about 6:30. He basks until I give him salad at 9:30.. then I add bugs to his uneaten salad. Once he eats that’s when he’ll bask a little longer then off to cool side up high. The last couple of days he has stayed there until it’s time to eat again at about 2:30.. I’ll put him on his basking and he’ll stay there a little longer the back to cool and high. Before yesterday he had began to appear to be checking things out…do I want it hot enough for him to gape?
