I think they are fine if it doesn't drop below 70. They can tolerate 65 or so, but are more sluggish in the morning if they get that cold.

They shouldn't have any ambient light, so if you need to keep your overnights up, use a heat emitter. The infrareds produce too much light, at least for beardies. I assume its the same with uros.
