I do agree. I told him thats probably why it was climbing near the lamp. 81 is not horrible for a baby, as they cant handle heat like the adults. Adults like about 90ish, babies in the 80s. Mine prefers between 85-87, at that temp i see him basking then moving to different spots (with temps from 80-75) in the cage and exploring, at 90 hes gaping while basking. I would try lowering the lamp to about 85-87 surface temp and see what you get out of him.
