As already stated, the lowest ambient temps in the enclosure above or below ground should not be below around 21c (72f), I would prefer 24c (75f).

awsome thanks! My new setup is 23C inside his burrow, he now has a new place to sleep, he will discover tomorrow, which is 26C when lamps are on full and very humid (100%, sphagnum moss), not sure what temp it will be tonight, we'll find out!

Not that it's right or wrong.. My dirt temp guns at 80 degrees. (F)

However, I keep my reptile room at 80 degrees, so it's illogical to assume that the dirt could be any colder than the room it's in.
