Basking myths dispelled.

[pet_snake_78]

I would be interesting for some to temp gun the basking temperatures in the wild of commonly kept reptiles for reference. I was listening to one of the blog talk radio shows where Tom Crutchfield let's his iguanas outside and they can bask wherever they want and he then temp gunned them to find they were at relatively high temperatures... of course it goes that they need to be able to get away from high temperatures, too.
