depends wut kind of light, if you want to leave your basking light 24/7, it wouldnt be a good idea, in the wild, they have day and night so ya, it all depends wut you mean

What do the night time temps drop down to?

If it drops lower than the low 70's then yes i would say to use a IR bulb, if not then i wouldn't worry about it.

Probably not necessary.....Dragons can tolerate temps down to the 60's during the night. Babies do like it a bit warmer though and our night temps. stay at about 70.

If you decide to use supplemental heat for nights......go for a ceramic heat emitter as it will not interupt their normal sleep pattern.

Good luck!! :)
