: The ambient temp of the habitat is not the danger here Todd. Its the temp at a specific location caused by sunlight being refracted through glass. When light travels from one density to another it bends, so to speak. Glass is not a perfectly flat surface and sunlight can be concentrated. Similar to a magnifyling glass. If the lizard does not move, it is fried. The glass filters out most light above the visible spectrum but can refract visible light and concentrate it. Hope this helps.

i have killed reptiles ..a couple in the early 60's..and one boa in the 90's( my sons snake i wasn't in the house then)....the boa was cooked...others from poor husbandry...mouth fungus before i discovered tetracycline in 69.....i won't go into that right now...as far as temps..as i said they can choose...65 to 100 or bask in much more...thanks for the input...billy
