  1. 50 to 60 F
  2. 77 to 86 F ✔
  3. 105 to 120 F

Why: Merck gives leopard geckos a preferred zone of 77 to 86 F. The enclosure still needs warmer and cooler areas so the gecko can choose.

Huh, didn't know that: Merck classifies the leopard gecko's habitat type as terrestrial arid scrub.

Why did the gecko visit both sides? It was choosing the right degree of comfort.
