    How long can he stay healthy at 65-70 degrees?

    Actually the better question is will he be OK for the night. And it might get a little colder; maybe 60.
    We got a different kind of heat bulb and its not providing enough heat. We got it as the pet store closed so we will be getting a new bulb first thing in the morning. Just wanna know if he will be good for the night?

    Can't you turn up the heat in the room to keep the ambient at least 80? Personally, I wouldn't ever let mine get that cold.

    You should have a heat pad under the tank rather than a light over the top

    If you have a heat pad, it MUST be regulated by a thermostat.

    Where are you? It's 0700, go buy another one today.

    What type did you replace and what with?

    If you have to use a day bulb or maybe even a regular bulb (if it warms it enough) do it. It would be better to confuse your snake than let it get that cold.
