What would be the appropriate temperature for the hot and cold side at night? Or should I just allow it to remain at 90F?
i just thought of something.. if leos are nocturnal, then there is no point of the temp. during the day (im not saying to shut the heat source off during the day). and if someone said it needed to be dropped for night, then that would be the main temp...
in concklusion, keep it at 90 all the time

Thats kinda what I was wondering, if they are nocturnal and therefore sleeping during the day, wouldnt it be best to actually reverse the temps so the hides are cool like you would find in nature?
Just curious because mine has been inactive since his shed (I've started misting him just before "dawn" to make sure he's getting some water) and I didnt know if the temps could be the problem?

They really love warmer temps, I think if you kept yours at 90 degrees or so during the night, you would see more activity

Air temps drop dramatically at night. BUT the ground stays warm for most of the night because the sun warmed it. Have you ever been to the beach at night? Dig down with your feet a couple of inches and it's warm not cool like the top would be.
Keep the warm side at 90 degrees 24/7. It will save you the headache. The air temps will naturally drop at night.
