How cold can the basking spot get at night?

[AA23ds]

Hi all,

Another newb question.

Does the 90F basking spot have to stay 90F at night? What if it drops to around 85 (lowest point measured on an accurate min/max digital) at night? The range for the hot spot is 85-91 depending on the time of day. For the cool side it's 78-82.

I just want to make sure that's good before I try to get her to keep down another mini-rodent.

Thanks

Idealy the hot spot should stay consistant, many breeders do let the night time temps drop somewhat and never have problems, personally I like to keep them consistant, at least till brumating time, see what others have to say, personally I think you should keep the temps up, good luck
