Quick ? about room temp

[mccallumpiper]

Hello Everyone,
Well my question is because my room was an addition it is over our front porch. So because there is no room under it it can get pretty cold or hot depending on the season. I do have an elextric heater but try to keep the use at a minimum for money reasons. My question is will this effect my beardie in any way even though her temps are where they should be? Right now it is 63 degrees in my room. Of course her temps are where they should be I just wanted to know if this were give her a sense to brumate for longer or to not come out? Thank you for your help!

As long as her viv temp are good then she will be fine. It more lighting that causes brumation then temps.

If you are really worried about temps in the colder months you can always use a CHE at night to keep the temps where they need to be. A CHE has no light and Im no electrician but I would guess its far more energy efficient then a space heater. Just another option incase you do have temp issues.

Hey Squirell
Thanks for the suggestion I do have a 100 watt CHE in one of my drawers for such occassion. I havent had to use it yet but I havent had her through a full winter so I imagine it will be used sooner or later!
