Yes you need one. The reason is that today your cage is only getting to 92...what happens when the house temp rises (like in the summer) the thermostat keeps the temp in check otherwise it the cage temp will rise with the ambient house temp. It is a huge risk ANY change in the house higher (ambient temp) could lead to catostrophic consequences.

Hope this helps,
