    You could get a thermostat (it'll set you back probably $40) with a sensor you put in your enclosure that will turn the light on and off automatically even when you're not home or asleep. Keeps the temperature much more even without having to check the thermometer all the time.

    I agree depending where you have the tank even if the abient temp seems cooler than last year it is around here in Rhode Island 70's during day the 50's at night in July? anyway there still will be a slow steady heat gain so what worked in May for temp regulation won't work now so a thermostat is in order for good regulation. I have mine in my finished basement man cave along with my Vintage stereo collection and record collection and recording studio and Guitars so I try to keep the temp even but even there as the foundation warms over the summer (it's below grade) it gets warm and I have to keep adjsuting the temp and humidity good luck with feeding
    mine still do fine on worms and calcium powder and repto vits.
