Is an under tank heater recommended for the evenings? I live in Los Angeles and it can get to around the 60's and just curious as I don't want him to freeze to death at night. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!

night heat isnt needed unless temps get below 65 in my opinion. undertank heaters can get really hot and beardies dont know when they are getting burned. if it has a thermostat or if you have something like tile in the bottom of the tank you might be ok but i personally would rather use a heat emitter hung over the tank or sitting on the screen top if needed.

I unscrew Willow's basking light and replace it with an infrared bulb at night, that way i can still control the heat using the thermostat so her enclosure stays warm but she can sleep peacefully because she can't see infrared. Hope that helps!
Dont use infra red bulbs, they can see the light and it will affect their sleep. Causing u=issues in the long run
Heat is only needed if it gets below 65 at night. The do need to cool down as well so their metabolic processess can function propperly
IF your house temps are colder than 65 at night buy a CHE, it provides heat but NO LIGHT
