It got down to the 50's the first night. The gecko's did fine. Once the electricity came back on the heat was left on in the tanks for 2-3 hours past when my son ususally turns them off. My son saw one of them eating this afternoon. Makes me wonder if they ate the night before.

Sorry to read about your loss of power

May I ask why you are turning their heat source off ?


Sandy

My thoughts exactly. Unless it is multiple heat sources for day and night temps.

Our thermostat is set at 72 which the care sheets say is fine.

72 for a leo isnt fine. Thats the cool side temp. They need a hot side temp of 84-90

I know this may sound like Im being an butt to you, but low temps for the geckos will cause their digestion to slow down. Meaning it will take longer for them to digest thier food. Wich in turn will cause problems.


Well you edited your post. So you made it look like I messed up.

I turn off my lights at night and only turn on a night glo for a little extra heat my tanks could heat less then 60 if I didn't and I did take a digital reading and my hot side is about 90 dregrees during the day and my cool side even on a 10 gallon with a 75 watt bulb on one side is still 78 to 80.
