All of the lights do get turned off at night. The ambient temp does drop to a little above 70...i do keep a ceramic heat emitter going for my transpecos rat snake (to keep her tank dry) and a couple of heat pads, but i would say low 70s at night when all the lights are off. I do have a 24" 5.0 reptiglo on the tank, and a 150 watt heat bulb for a basking spot. I need to get a thermometer, but with my experience, i would say the basking spot is around 90. The reptarium is pretty tall, so the bottom (which is covered in moss only) stays cooler. He does seem to thermoregulate and move around quite a bit, but i have seen him even resting on the mesh with his belly close to the light.

He is eating well, and i run a dripper 2x daily with spraying throughout the day. I have seen him drink quite a bit.

Thanks for the imput! I really am apreciative of all you can give me. I will check the websites as well. Thanks again, jen
