Hey-
I have had my beardie for a little over a year and a half now, and feel like I FINALLY have the hang of temps.
I am using both a probe thermometer and a temp gun (adjusted to wood emissivity) to measure the basking spot, which is a stick, and it reads roughly 103 degrees ( I am still trying to adjust this- under 100 seems too cold, above 110 seems too warm).
My ambient thermometer reads about 86 degrees, and my cool side probe reads about 79 degrees.
For night time- my house is in the low 60's. Usually between 64 and 66 degrees- never warmer. If I leave the tank without heat, it is 64 degrees in the morning.
Is 64 degrees at night too cold?
I know that slightly lower temps, as well as night time drops can lengthen their life span a bit- but too cold is obviously bad, too.
