I am going to be moving my Leo from an Exo Terra 36x18x12 to a 36x24x18 PVC enclosure. I currently use a heat mat under her warm hide as well as a 50 watt halogen to keep my ambient temps in check. In the new enclosure I will be ditching the heat mat and going with over head heat using an Arcadia Deep Heat Projector as well as uvb using Arcadia 7% Shade Dweller. I currently have a heat mat on thermostat set at 90F under her hot hide which is on 24 hours a day in the Exo Terra. Once I have new enclosure setup I will be using slate under deep heat projector set with thermostat at basking site. My question is am I still supposed to keep basking area hot ( 90F ) 24 hours a day or should I be turning heat off at night and just use the heated slate for heat in basking area ?
