Hey Pike

I'm no expert on jungles but i have been to their neck of the woods & I'm guessing they're not used to much less than 16 - 18 degrees .

I keep my jungles between 24-29 all year round any lower than 16 and respitory infections can set in

As long as they have acsess to enough heat during the day they can handle 5-10 degrees at night, no problem, with out causing any harm to them.

Yes I think if they had cold days and nights they might suffer but cold nights aren't a problem for most reptiles as long as they can get warm in the morning.
