    Do I "NEED" to drop the temps at night or is that a personal preference thing?? I got my tank at 90-95 on warm side and it's 76-81 on cool side. Do I NEED to drop the temps at night or can I leave them alone. I haven't got my BP yet so I want to get everything right before I get it. I got a human heat pad and a red heat light on a thermosat. Thanks.

    I don't drop the temps in my cage at night. My house naturally drops in temp at night even with the A/C on right now. The warm side is always 90-95 and the coolside during the day is 85 and at night the cool side is 78. It's just a natural, gradual drop that happens through the day-- not all at once. I see Alexa out at night on her cool side thermoregulating all of the time.

    Like Bambi said, i dont provide a temp drop per say. My house just gets cooler during the night which generally lowers the temps in my cage by 1 to 2 degrees. As long as you have good husbandry otherwise, a temp drop isnt really necessary.

    24/7 50w heat lamp on the left side, makes for about 92 on the warm and 80 on cool side, and I've got a healthy, feeding, growing 8 month old bp. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
