quick question i thought gargoyles and cresteds need the same temp and humidity so whats with the heat lamp???? sry coming from az my house stays 78 yr round

here in SW Missouri my house is at 68 year round

well i live in nj. haha my mom keeps the temp in the house when no one is home at 60. when we get home the heat goes up to 67 and then at night back down to 65. so the heat lamp is actually clamped a foot above the enclosure, keeping the top around 80ish and the bottom around 75. and now its like 20 degrees outside haha. doesn't stay very warm here.

80 is probably too high since he will want to spend most of the time towards the top, you will be forcing him to probably stay lower down.

thanks i'm just afraid the high i raise the heat lamp the temp on the bottom with decrease.

70-80 is okay, you can keep it set up like you have it and if you see him staying away from the top you can lower temps a bit.

Sometimes temps 80 or above can cause stress, but if they are active, exploring and eating everything is probably fine.
