Hi, Someone else who turns the heat down...
I also turn mine off on my big guys,but we do have radiant heat, cept it goes off at night. Hasn't seem to been a problem.

Most caresheets suggest 80 F during the day with a basking area 85-95 F and night temps of about 72 F. I have read that night time temps may be allowed to drop to 60 F but ideally should be around 70 F.
Leaving it at 60F I would worry about URI or something similar.
