I have my adult leo gecko in a 20L tank. The cool side of the tank is between 75 and 80 during the day and 70 to 75 at night. The warm side reads about 88 to 91 degrees during the day. However, at night is only gets as low as 86 to 88 degrees. I have the probes from the monitors close to the substrate. I'm using a 100w heat bulb on the warm side. Any ideas why the warm side isn't fluctuating at night as it should?

100 wats thats kinda hot. U should get a 60 or 75 w. Besides that you can get a heat mat :D and have like a 40 or 25 w bulb in the morning would do good in the 89-92 F range. You can then turn off your bulb and it would get somewhat to 82-85 :D
