You may also want to consider using under-tank heaters for the herps. If the heat lamps are heating during the day, and the space heater is heating (even at a lower temp) at night, the herps won't have the opportunity to thermal regulate themselves. An under-tank mat will give them the opportunity (esp. at night) to go to the warm side of the tank to warm up, and to the cooler side to cool off, as it needs to. If your basement gets pretty cold, go ahead and leave the space heater on, but at a lower level; enough to keep the room (and the cool side of the tank) at around 70 -75 degrees.
