Hot Spot

They are in a 4 x 2 x 2 melamine cage with background made of carved insulation foam. Losing heat is not an issue. The cool side is about 85 to 87 degrees. I need to get a good quality temp gun. I have a hard time trusting what I have now. I'm going to turn up my hot spot by 5 degrees and see how that goes. It's just hard to imagine that anything could thrive in such hot temperatures, so I'm going to sneak up on it slowly! Thanks for your advise.

Now if I may, a related question: My Herpstat is awesome and allows me to set a night time temperature and also allows me to set ramp times. I currently have it set 10 degrees cooler at night and an hour ramp time both ways. Is 10 degrees a good temp difference between night and day or should the difference be greater?
