    Ok that's what I was looking for. So even if my home gets to low 50's 60's where I will keep him I'm still ok with just the basking lamp

    The basking lamp will not be on at night, at 50's and 60's is low.

    You might need a RHP and UTH.

    Just my two cents.

    I think pretty much anything below 75ish would be too cold even for night temps on a regular basis.

    I'm not sure about 50s. I'd have to defer to those with more experience. They do brumate in the winter, but not sure what an acceptable low temp is.
