Night heat lamp out

[Jaxson]

Jaxson’s night heat bulb went out. Should I keep on the uvb lamp or turn it off?

 

[Claudiusx]

At night there should be no lights on. So, keep the uvb off.

Just keep an eye on his tank over nite take temp in morning to see where its at for ambient temp -- should not be lower than 65 --- if it is you might want to invest in a CHE ceramic heat emitter NO LIGHT-- either a 75 watt or 100 -- I have a 100 watt but I also have a 120 gallon tank --- keeps it around 70 at nite

The only heat source you should have at night is a ceramic heat emitter "CHE" and, only if the temps in your home drop below 65 F at night. Never use a heat source that illuminates at night. It doesn't allow them to slow their metabolism so they can get a good nights rest.
Your dragon probably knocked it out on purpose, LOL!!!

The one we had kept it at 70 at night. Idk what kind it was. All my husband told me was I am suppose to turn it on at night.

If it produced any visible light (black/purple/blue, or red) then it's not a bulb you want anyways.
Like mentioned you want complete darkness at night (or at least as close to darkness as you can get).

Ceramic Heat Emitters (CHE's) give off heat but no visible light. This is the bulb you'd want if you are looking to add supplemental heat at night.
Heat at night is not a requirement as previously stated. I've never once owned or used a CHE or any source of night time heat in any of my enclosures.
But then again, I also live in California lol.

Oh yes, I’m in Indiana and it’s freezing here. We have high ceilings so it doesn’t help with keeping heat down. The summer time gets pretty hot t night and we wouldn’t need a heating lamp. The bulb we had came in a kit with the enclosure and was a black light. I wonder why they put those in kits if they aren’t suppose to have them.

What temperature does your house get to at night?

I have no idea what’s the warmest temp at night is in winter. It’s different temps throughout the house. The warmest is upstairs in our family room but no one goes in there unless we have a bunch of family over. I think that’s the warmest. I barely go in there. But the thermostat says 70 in our house but idk if that is downstairs or upstairs or in the living room where he is or our kitchen which has the lowest ceilings downstairs. I know for sure it’s not my room because I be cold then again I have low iron. It’s 3:15a and his temp says 70 degrees also which is great! BUT humidity is at 80 ? but I do have a water bowl in there maybe I should take it out. Is that normal when the lights go out it gets that high? That never happened with the night lamp

 

[KarrieRee]

Yes that is normal -- and you can take it out--- mine goes up at night as well I live in MN and when lights are on it drops during the day
