Actually, the basking spot is useful for reptile for these two things:

1- Thermoregulation
2- Digestion

Just make a spot clean everyday and all is going to be alright! It won't smell bad. icon_biggrin.gif

It's not that they go in the hot spot, if they are not warm enough, then metabolism is too slow for them to digest and pass fecal matter properly. I made this mistake with my very first herp, a sav that I bought back in '91, when herp info was scarce.

By the way, Melissa Kaplan ROCKS, and her anapsid website is awesome.
