Can I ditch my heat lamp at night since its getting warmer?

Hi,

Yes if your room ambient temp is 78f to 79f you could ditch the lamp at night, and if its a year old it could handle it even if you let it go down to about 75f. Do you have thermometer in your tank? Im just asking because you asked if he could be too warm now that temps have raised in the house and because your using a heat lamp but you didn't put how hot it actually was in the tank. Also at a year old he is an adult and I would space out the feeding and give him more. 1 or 2 crickets a day for a week is only 14 crickets and if you say your giving semi small to me this doesn't sound like enough, my adult could eat that in one sitting. For the not eating nights he/she is just more then likely not in the mood and her sitting with her eyes like that is his/her way of telling you im happy and content and just want to be left alone.

No, the thermometer wasn't actually in the tank. It was laying right next to the tank. And as far as the feedings go, they're actually medium crickets and sometimes she'll eat more than that
