    It's not necessary at all unfortunately. Sorry, I was under the same impression when I first started as well but luckily learned before I bought my thermostats that I wouldn't need it.

    There are some breeders who use the night drop, to help cycle/cool their animals at the start of breeding season.

    Do you absolutely need a night drop, no. I think it it's convenient to have one, and don't believe it's a waste of money.

    I use a night drop at the start of breeding season just for good measure. I don't believe it's completely necessary, but I don't think it hurts either.
