Night time heat

[Zoey_4224]

Alright so I bought a ceramic heater for my beardie but it won't be here till tomorrow morning. Should I leave his heating lamp on so it stay around 100 in there or should I turn it off and turn my heater on so it's around 73 ish in there. I don't want to mess him up and I want to know which approach is least harmful

Please no lights on at night- the night time temps 65-75 ambient

You don't want your tank to get to hot at night- get ambient temp right away in the morning see what it is over 75 it's too warm

yes, he will be totally fine. they like it cooler and dark for sleeping. i have my house thermostat set to kick on at 65°. other than that i just let it be at night.

Hello,

Definitely he will be perfectly fine until your ceramic heat emitter gets there. They tend not to sleep
very well if at all, while any type of lights are on.
