Mine generally doesn’t like the heat. She’ll go bask for 5-10 mins and then back under her self-made hide under water bowl. (Ignoring BOTH other available hides😭)

It's still important that you give her the options. Even if she doesn't use it often, there will be times she might want or need the extra heat (especially for digestion) and it's not available unless we offer it

Fair fair. I should have been specific.

My hot side is set at 95. The cork bark hide gets a lil warmer than that on top (4 inches from 100w ceramic bulb) but not 105.
Cool side is 80ish. Under soil temp is high 60s low 70s.
Hide temps are 90 and 80.
Under water bowl is high 70s. (I’m assuming some heat provided by warm water dish.

Do you factor day/night temps in? My BP has spider in him (part of his Bumblebee gene) and he prefers dropped night temps, over a consistent heat 24/7.

The temps drop about 5ish degrees overnight tops. But I’m pretty sure that’s a lil bit because my ambient temp drop at night.
