summer temperature

[adamofsound]

hi,


I have only been keeping cresteds since october, and a gargoyle since september.
I read EVERYTHING I can find on Rhacodactylus geckos. I often run into different opinions on the subject of temperature range.
can I hear some opinions form experienced keepers about
a) good temp range
b) temps that are too hot
c) temps that are too cold
I have read a huge range from mid 60's to 85F+

we have had a couple of warm days here in the sunny Niagara region (tuesday went up to 23C!) and my room seems to be getting warm. I have recorded temps up to 82C in my room this week (where i keep the geckos, University student and one of my roomates is a bit squeamish about reptiles, but i am slowly convincing him that they are misunderstood)

I am thinking I will have to move them to a cooler part of the house before really hot temps hit.

Also, i have been reading posts just now and read that 14cm (5.5inches or so) is a good size for a yearling female crested. how long does it take for htem to reach the full 7-10 inches? I was under hte impression that full size could be reached in 8 months to a year?

as always, your input is helpful and appreciated.

Adam
