Broad Tailed Gecko- Temperature Concern

Hi people.

Just wanting to know roughyl what a safe "minimum" temp would be for broad tails gex.
I'm well aware that they tolerate mid teen temps real well, but what would people say would be the lowest temp?

Where i live we are facing winter temps of 5 and below during the night- and i need to know whether i need to move them inside or something.

Thanks in advance

Mat

I think where you are, they are fine for what the temps are because arent they found locally near you?

Too hot is far more of an issue for them.

It shouldn't be a prob but if you have the ability to keep them above 12 C then thats a little kinder (remembering that they can't seek shelter of choice in captivity like they could in the wild)
