I just read my JCP's body with a infrared heat gun and it read 99F. Below you can see he has multiple places to bask. The ledge he is on absorbs heat very well and is at 99F right now. The wooden perch to the right gets 88F. The vine you see going across the middle being held by the PVC half pipe gets about 86F and the ledge below that vine gets about 84F. The digital thermometer reads 83F because I just misted the enclosure so it's readings will be off for a few minutes.
Is it okay for my carpet to choose the hottest basking spot? Why is he choosing a basking spot of 99F when most caresheets recommend around 90F for a basking spot?
