Default Gekko Gecko Night Time heating

I was wondering if I used an infrared heat source or a ceramic heating coil for my tokay, would it be ok to leave on constantly, or is the night time drop in temperature a must? I could just move the heat source off to the side for it to be more like night time I suppose. Tell me what yall think

electricity bill? 0,15kw * 12h *0,3 $/(kW-h)*365 = 197$
Just use a timer unless the room temperature is so low the temperature
would drop too much.

Here, everything switches off during the night except for a little fountain they drink from and a led light. If it gets too cold a small heat matt at the side will adjust the temp.

as for necessary, i've been wanting to know myself, i'm pretty sure it isn't. i think it might just stimulate natural behavior, if anything.

I do have a night time drop in my room but you dont have to have it. Its not a must have really. I never had a night time drop till I opened my garage into a reptile room. And I was breeding Tokays for a few year before that without a drop.

As long as your house dosnt get below the 70s at night you dont have to worry about night time heat.
