Bit of a guess here but I'd say in the early 20s for a basking spot and room temp every were else. Just going on southcoast summers.

I would err on the cool side- think outdoor temps at the moment.

Give a wide temp band, ie a very low wattage spot bulb a one end with a perch/log right under it and keep it real cool the other.

Keep them on a deep layer of substrate too (damp peat and bark chips mixed is good for holding a nice humidity.
