Yes in my opinon yes. They need that higher heat to be able to properly digest there food and stimulate there eating response. That is true with any reptile that I have studied. The best thing to do IMO is to like i said keep that UTH at the 88 - 90 degree temps all the time and use your heat lamp for ambient air temps. If you do that I dont think that you will ever have to worry about any weird feeding habits and the leo will always have a good source to thermo regulate. Maybe read some more caresheets and decide for yourself if that would be the best idea but IMO man I would defintitly provide those higher temps all the time!
