Heat lamp over the enclosure keeps the temp about mid 80-s during the day, but drops to about 72 at night.

I would recommend a thermostat and undertank heat tape/mat combination to keep your warm side temp constant. You could also use a ceramic heat emitter or radiant heat panel, but the rhp's aren't cheap.A thermostat is required for any heat source IMO. A good inexpensive thermostat is hydrofarm. Links below.

Great inexpensive heat tape: You can order by the foot. For 99 cents they will assemble the heat tape connectors/cord set

12" Heat Tape

And add this to heat tape:

So for 1 foot of 12" heat tape with connector/cord set installed is only $7.99! I have 3 of these.
