what is the coldest you let your night time lows get and still keep your Beardies from brumating?

Your nighttime temp can get as low as down to 60F, as long as the daytime temp is high enough. Actually, the nighttime temp has nothing to do with beardies going into brumation, I think. In my experience daylight and daytime temps, plus the beardies' internal clock, play the most important parts.
In the room where my beardie sleeps, I usually keep the temp at 65F (more or less...).

there are occassions when the temps drop to 57-60, but it's never affected my beardie. if it seems to get too chilly, i'll put a blanket around his tank to keep some heat in (when I'm home so I can make sure the blanket doesn't hit the lamp!)
