Habitat?

I have day time temps controlled. Basking, incandescent spot lights, fluorescent UV unit
The critters spend a lot of the day where it’s
warm. It’s 96 under the lights and +-80 as you move away.
What should nite time temp be maintained at? Now it gets down close to 70. I lived in Arizona and the temps can vary widely from
Noon to Midnite in the desert. What’s best for these torts? Best way to control heat at nite.

If u have sulcatas what I'm guessing cause of ur previous posts u should aim for 80f night temp

What the best heating/thermostat unit for continuous warming at nite. Please see pictured setup.

You can use a CHE with a thermostat. I use exo terra thermostat and never had any probs with them and they’re ony 30 bucks

Your setup looks a little on the small side. Or maybe its just the pic

It’s 24/36 and I’ll move bigger over winter.
Want to get a regulated system that’s works.
What is a CHE please?

Sulcatas are not a desert species. Sulcatas don't come from AZ. So what does AZ temperature variation have to do with optimal night temps for a sulcata?
