temp question

[beardieman08]

What temp should my viv be at during night time hours?

Mine get into the low 60s this time of year. Your dragon looks large enough that the 60s shouldn't be a problem. If you dip into the 50s you might consider a small ceramic heat emitter.

I know this may sound silly. Am new to all this, but, at night I know the UVB should be off after 12hrs, but what about the basking lamp? I'm told BD need the tank to be dark at night, so would I be better of getting a ceramic heat lamp and lowering the temp at night otherwise the basking lamp would be on for 24hrs and that don't seem right?

Rule of thumb...
12-14hours of lights on, 10-12 with them off. I would suggest to get a timer.

Thx for the advice. Sorry for all the questions. I have a couple more. I have a timer for the UVB to come on & go off every 12 hrs. The basking lamp is already attached to a Habistat dimming thermostat, would you suggest I attach a timer to this as well so it goes off & comes on the same times as the UVB?
