The whole cage does not have to be 90-95 degrees. If your ambient cage temp is around 80, you are doing fine. Now... Tailor your Ig's basking spot under the Powersun to make for a 95 degree basking spot. Move his basking spot closer to the light! A temperature gun would be great for determining the exact temperatures of it... But most people do not have those, so a digital thermometer from wal-mart with a remote probe will work fine. Tape that probe to the basking spot, and see what it hits.

:Hello to all that read this,
: I need some advice on heating. What I have is a cages by design enclosure. It is 5ftx4ftx2ft. The lights attach at the top. I have a ceramic heat emmiter (150wt) and a power sun uv (160wt) the temp in the cage only gets to around 80 degrees. I need to hit around 90-95. I also have a infa red heat (150wt) that can be used. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
