Night temps

[marisa]

I did use the search feature and looked and some previous questions about this but I didn't see any for sure answers exactly....

My house is around 65-70 at night. Is this too cold for my leopard gecko to go overnight with no heat source? Currently she has a heat source 24/7 but in a new cage I am playing with I am thinking of using a white bulb, but will add a red at night if its a must.

thanks!

Thats what my place is like too, for all my aboreal cages I put in black lights at night but I dont have a problem with the leopards because I use heatpads. I'm not sure if 65 is too bad for leopards, they are one of the more tolerant species, but maybe 65F is a little chilli.

My adult female has always had a night drop to about 73F....and shes doin great.
