  1. Just buy a digital thermometer and leave it in with her over night - if it doesn't drop below 65F then you don't need to worry.

    Just make sure you don't leave the windows open over night incase the weather suddenly turns cold.


  2. You can put a heating mat on the side of the tank so it won't get burned. As long as it's temperature doesn't drop below 60 degrees at night, she should be fine. But you need to make sure it doesn't, because if it gets below that she needs more heat.  

  3. i have  a thermostat that you can turn up for daytime temps and down at night it has a sensor at one end of  the viv,[the cooler end] and a bulb fixed on the ceiling at the other, day time temps are 86 and night time 76,  the bulb automatically comes on if the temp drops lower than its set,  that  way your beardie,s temp cannot drop below what it needs during the night. also a uv light set about six inches from the floor at the back of the viv which needs to be on for eight hours a day so that it can absorb calcium for good bones, all food should be dusted  in a mix of calcium powder and vitamins, one thermostat can be wired to heat many vivs. mine heats two vivs as i have two males, cricket and spike.
