Man your house is cool! What do you have the AC set
on?? Anyways, mine's set on 78 F during the day
and night, but I keep Teddy's cage at night safe
by using a ceramic heating element above just off of
the entrance to his hay pile he sleeps in. This
produces no light, just keeps the temp from dropping
below 78 during the night. It's cooler inside the
hay pile and cooler yet in other hay piles or
parts of the cage, but he chooses to sleep there.
Right now he's outside most of the day, and comes
in in the evening around 6 p.m. to go to bed.
I turn his cage lights on before bringing him in
so his cage has a gradual cool down period for
him to adjust to night time when I turn them off
around 6:30 p.m.
Consider a ceramic heater they produce no light
(I tried the blue/black and red lights, both
annoyed me though Teddy's cage is 44 ft. from my bed
but I can see it.)
