heating pad for crested gecko?

[Kiki1]

20 gallon tank stays around 67-70degrees with a red light on all the time. Are they to cold?

No room temps good and they dont need lights they are nocturnal and they wont them also dont get a heat mat too like i said room temps are fine 65-73 degrees F

From what I read some people do and some people don't. Just make sure it doesn't get too hot!

I wouldn't use a heating pad. Any temp above 85F could cause organ failure and death, and from what I understand it's difficult to regulate the temperature of a heating pad, so it's a big risk. If you want it warmer try a higher watt heating bulb, but I would say your temps are fine now.

Thanks so much you guys for your responses. I have some happy geckos ever since I switched to a day light and use a red light only at night. There eating a lot more you guys rock!
