The ideal temperature setting for your reptile or amphibian's heat lamp depends on their specific needs. It is recommended to research the natural habitat and temperature preferences of your pet species. Generally, a basking spot temperature of 85u00b0F to 95u00b0F (29u00b0C to 35u00b0C) is suitable for most reptiles. However, it is crucial to monitor the temperature regularly using a reliable thermometer to ensure it remains within the optimal range.
