So Brody has been home for a week tommorow, and hasn't eat anything and barely comes out of his hide (never). I did a couple checks of temp at around 7 and it was about 93 which was a little hot so I turned the AC in the house up. I came back upstairs and had an epiphany, it could have been up to 110 in that tank during the day, or now that i think about it even higher D:, now I am freaking out cuz in the same room I have my bearded dragon which has a 100w basking bulb! So, i have no idea how hot it could have been in that tank?! so immediately when I came back up stairs earlier, turned off the UTH and misted Brody and he seems much happier now.
Either way the situation is fixed but I had a 50w in the beardies tank most the week so it couldn't have been more then 100 degrees in the geckos tank, but I bumped the light to a 100w because It was a lil chilly in the beardies tank.
Never the less enough blabbering my question is, can overheating do permanent damage to a leopard gecko? I'm worry'd that iv harmed him long term. I will wait to see how he reacts tomorrow when he's at a good temp. But I'm just soo worried that I may have hurt him long term.
