That's going to make a really great home for Boris! You'll want to turn the UVB off when you turn the basking light off in the evening. I keep them both on the same timer. If the enclosure stays above 65f/18c in the evening, no additional heat is needed at night. If the temperatures dip below that (possibly just seasonally which is the case at my house in the winter) you can get a ceramic heat emitter to boost the temperatures a little bit overnight - just put that on a separate timer. You'll want to keep a bit of a cooldown period overnight though so don't boost the temperatures too high.

Do not leave any UVB on at night and breaded dragons prefer it darker at night. I would suggest a ceramic heater and as a second choice you could use a infared heat lamp. Temperatures should be between 65-70 degrees at night. Basking spot/surface temp. around 105-110 and also a cool side of about 75 degrees during the daytime. If you need any help please reach out!
