How do you lower the temp at night?

elcheal Mar 30, 2004 04:49 PM

What is the easiest way to lower the temp at night without getting one of those expensive things that controls the light. Could you have a higher wattage bulb on one side and a lower one on the other side and just switch the one that is on at night? What wattage would you reccomend for night and day, or do you have another method to heating the cage? Thanks in Advance...

just leave on the same heatsource for 24/7 and during the night (unless the AC or heating is on) when the temp drops you will get a nice temperature drop, it is also good for cycling the seasons.
