Is a thermometer necessary?

And 75 is too low for bp's. So if your room sits at 75 or below you need heat sources.

Gotcha have the heat mat and thermostat for the hot side, already tested them to make sure they work. Also got a small heat light just in case the cool side is too cold. I'm setting everything up this week (not getting him until the 6th) so that I can make adjustments if I need to, such as putting the heat light farther or closer if need be
