As long as you have the proper heat INSIDE the cage, either by UTH(my preferred method, in chilly Utah), bulb or ceramic heat element, you shouldn't have to worry about the temperature of your house. If you have a big terrarium you might need to supplement the belly heat (provided by UTH) with a bulb, just to warm the air so that the leo doesn't have to choose between a 90 degree hide and 65 degree air everywhere else...

Thankyou for your advice, just one more question, how do you heat the cool side of the vivaruim? Or is it kinda generated by the heat mat on the other side? Thankyou
