Like a 25W glo one or something? Do you think that would raise the temp to around 75-77F?

[Salzy]

I would say No...my temps are usually up around 74, and I don't really want them there. It's difficult to cool my gecko room, but I would love it if my temps were 68-70 degrees instead. Your gecko will be fine at 67F.

[TynanV]

Okay thanks! Is their terrarium better to be cooler than warmer then?

[lauraleellbp]

Is 67F the lowest your room drops?

[TynanV]

I believe so. Its been going between 67 and 68 really.

[lauraleellbp]

I agree with Kyle you're totally fine as you are if that's the lowest it gets.

[TynanV]

Okay thanks! What temperature would it have to be for me to need a heat source?

[lauraleellbp]

If it got below 65 F I personally would probably add a bit of heat, but really you should be fine down to 60 F and some people say even 55 F.

[TynanV]

Okay thanks, we're moving soon so I'll have to check the temperature of my room in our new house. Its a smaller house so I'm sure the heat will be fine though.

My house regularly gets to 55F at night and no more than 65F in the day during the winter. I dont provide any heat to my cresteds or gargoyles. The adults get a little sluggish and their food consumption drops but they still gain weight and get fat and healthy before spring breeding season starts. For whatever reason, hatchlings and juveniles dont seem affected by cold temps at all. Even at 55F they are ravenous eaters and are very active.
