night temps for mali uro????

[liltattyprinces]

Hello all well as some of you have heard i have gotten a sweet little uro. I'm pretty sure the day temps are ok ambient temp is 90 His basking spot is between 115-120. What i am wondering about are the night time temps i can't find any info on where they should be at, the only info i find says to to turn off the lights at night. So will he be fine just doing that or should i invest in a nighttime heating light ? Also is it ok to use uth's on the bottom of the tank to help with keeping the heat up? some advice would be great and really appericated. Tahnk you.

Have a great day everyone:)

they can go down to room temp at night with no extra heat. i would imagine uth's would be fine, if u want to use them. altho, they rely on heat from above and that is preferrable. but i assume u meant in addition to, anyway.

The uth on the bottom is just used to help maintain the warm temps he needs, as the room temp is usally about 74 or so. Or is it best to use just lights to maintain the ambient temps..

Thank you,

Under tank heaters are not needed at all. And You just have to turn the lights off at night.

I just let the lights go off at night and they drop to about 78-80 depending on the weather outside..basically you dont need anything but a timer :)
