Re: please tell me what you think of this chart
I think that red/orange/yellow showed the concept better, but the original was so bright my eyes were hurting. Could use a pastel or a duller version of those colors though instead of simply grey, green, etc.

I have never seen a Bosc that would use that high of a temperature.
But I am open minded..

Thanks, and since it was pointed out that ovals would be more accurate, I will be re-doing the whole thing.
I used it to illustrate to a fellow on another forum why his little fish tank was so inappropriate for even a baby.

Try it 
My male basked up to the 150f mark.
A good basking temp i feel is 135f to 150f for boscs.
Other monitor sp will bask higher up to 160f after that i personalyl havent seen any benefitis i.e increased food intake, activity levels etc.

Re: please tell me what you think of this chart
There's a pretty well known keeper that keeps his surface temperatures at 155 for his sav. I've even seen pictures of them basking near 180 for short bursts.

Re: please tell me what you think of this chart
On the subject of basking, I just got to watch Cera jump up on the platform, then sprawl out and flatten...
She did this right in the hottest part, sat there for about 2 minutes and then jumped off the platform to do some hunting.
So I just released a bunch more crickets and earthworms in there to keep her busy.

from centre to edge i see.....
grey

reddish/orangish
purple
i think you chose the correct colours wayne,i feel if you used red,orange and yellow fading into each other,it would not give such a diffinitive view of the area's
maybe you could do a second chart that could show the heat zones merging with each other ?
them monitor's don't half like their heat mate,i was pretty amazed at the temp of their hot spot,compaired to a snakes hot spot
cheers shaun

Some of the more equatorial species will bask all the way up to near 200 degrees Shaun.
