Just one question..how do you keep the temp around 70 and night with the heat lamp off.

veileds can actually withstand a lot lower than that. how cool does it get in your house at night now? you could try a low watt night time bulb, they sell some that don't put out light that your cham can see.....

Don't bother with a night heater. Temp drops into the 60's would be fine, and they CAN take lower than that. A temp drop of at least 10 degrees is beneficial
