Night time temp

[Pinned27]

Should the temperature at night still be around 88-95?
or should it come down some?
and if so, whats a good temp range for night time?

Thanks.

I'm assuming your talking about the ground temperature, so yes there should be temperatures of about 88-95 at all times in your hot hide for your reptile. It will move over to the cool side if it wants.

Yes i meant the ground temp. Ive read that it should lower at night but other places said you dont.
Thank you for the info. 88-94 on hot and cooler on the other side.

It's not necessary to have the temps drop at night.

I personally keep my leopard geckos at a stable temperature gradient of 90-94 F at all time and they seem to be just fine.

It's all really a matter of opinion whether you want to provide night time temperature drops; it's certainly not essential, but it certainly can be done. Because of their hardy nature, leopard geckos can tolerate night time drops into the low 80s, even into the low 70s.
