lately the room temperature has been steady between lower 70's-upper 70's.. But usually during the morning the temperature can be kind of low in the lower 70's. I want to keep the temperature in the enclosure at adequate temperature in the upper 70s but it seems to be jumping up and down a bit during the day. I've recently read on some articles, a 5% uvb bulb can be good to give a little heat but also provide a day portion of the cycle to keep it natural, is this necessary ? or no lighting specifics at all, just ambient room temperature?

The only light you need is a light for plants if you have live plants however they would probably take advantage of a uvb bulb as mine despite being nocturnal do like to sit out under the lights. I am just using led and CFL plant lights. The o ly think incandescent is good for these days is for heat which you should be fine with having at room temp. Anywhwre from around 65 to 85 is okay for gargs. I try and keep my Temps between 70 and 80 myself. Sorry about the Grammer. I am on my phone at work.
