Hey guys,
I was reading up a bit more and I was wondering if I need to turn off my heat lamps at night? I'm currently only turning off the UV tube at night.
I read this article that states:
Heat stress? What if I turn them off and it gets too cold?
Thanks.

I read this article that states:
.Snakes have a day-night temperature cycle in the wild. Some studies indicate that if a reptile is constantly held at optimum temperature for weeks, it suffers heat stress. Males also have the sperm killed. It is probably best for a snake to spend the night at a temperature 5 to 20 degrees F below its daytime activity temperature.
