It should only be a few degrees celsius warmer than the genera air temperatur.For example i have a smithi terrarium with a general air temp of 26°C and a basking spot of 29°C.I prefer having these spots in my terrariums, but a lot of people say, that you can add them to your tank if you want and others say, that they are always necessary.Are they optional or necessary?</blockquote>
