Basking spot at the hottest is 160f with a 75 watt flood, i have a 65 watt flood right next to it thats about 155f. Warm sides 87f, and cool sides 77f at the coldest point. I just feed him crickets and mice. Two hoppers one day and then one hopper the next and repeat. Ten "super worms" the pet store calls em a week. 2 hard boiled eggs a month. The pic from january was actually after i had him for 5 months with almost no growth due to bad husbandry in an aquarium. Thats when i found this site and learned the right way.
