Just wondering if I can switch off all of the lights at night. My room gets around 62* during the winter.

How low can temps go at night?

Your room would be too cold then. You don't want it to drop much below 70. A ceramic heat emitter would be a good thing to invest in for the winter months - heat but no light for the night time.

In winter, our house gets to 62-63 degrees at night. I use a CHE at night to keep the enclosure temps in the low 70s. The CHEs come in a lot of different watts, so you may have to play around with different ones to see what works for you.

I'm curious, but doesn't it get very cold at night in the desert?

Yes, it can, but they aren't exposed - they're tucked away in burrows where it isn't so cold.
