Thermometers and Heating Element questions

They should be fine. I don't have an AC and I just keep the basking lamps off and keep the night time lamps on. It's gotten up to 100 degrees in the house, when that happens I put some ice cubes in their water and they like to wrap themselves around them.

Thanks! I do have window unit AC but do not leave it running all night unless it is freaky hot (i.e high 90's, which has never happened). Once again it is a simple "turn it on/off" type of unit so the beasts and I tolerate some temp swings within reason.

kibakiba you might want to look into homemade "swamp coolers" if you rarely get hot temps and can't or do not want to get an AC. Just requires a fan, a towel, and water/ice water.
