Yesterday I picked my boy Mitsuki. He glass surfed for about 5 mins after I turned out the light/basking lamp, eventually settling down behind his basking log. The room we stay in is always about 67° but to be safe I bought a night heat lamp, but now he is sleeping in his basking spot under it directly. Will he be okay to sleep there/regulate himself during the night? Also can he see well enough to climb back down at night? Thank you so much in advance.

And then a Exo Terra Night Heat Lamp 75w that he shouldn't be able to see.

Light does disturb their sleep, I'd recommend getting a ceramic heat emitter, which produces no light and works in standard light fixtures.

Standard light fixtures are plastic …. you will need a high temperature rated all ceramic e27 fitting for a CHE , just like needed for MVBs and basking globes.

Yeah That or a metal one, Plastic would melt and possibly cause a fire which would equal an unhappy beardie and very unhappy human, So definitely get a ceramic or metal fixture.
Light does disturb their sleep a lot, so definitely make sure to use a CHE (Ceramic Heat Emitter) and not a red or colored bulb.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
