So i got a 75 watt heating bulb but it feels way to hot.!! without the plants covering it it gets up to 117 on top of the rock which i DONT want my gecko to burn himself, is this type of heat Good with coverage on top ?? or should i buy a lower wattage bulb?? , my gecko never gets on top of the rock until night time when its off & cool down is that normal ? id like him to go on the day but im afraid its to hot & he’s a albino gecko !! any recommendations please ??? i also dont have any temps in the cage which i will get soon to track humidity & heat !!
