    No need to drop the temps at night. The hot side is a bit warmer than I shoot for though. Here's our Caresheet just in case you'd like to check it out.

    I wouuld say keep your hot side at about 90-92 and cool side lower 80's. Unless your breeding there is no need to do a temp drop at night and even then some people never drop their temps. Hope this helps you

    Read the caresheet!
    A nightdrop is only if you are breeding, and even then a lot of breeders say its unnecessary
