Hi everyone.
For the longest time I was worried about my Greek Darwin getting cold at night. Now I'm concerned he'll be too hot. At night I don't use any heat lamps, the room is dark, and I hVe a fan going. However the temp still stays a solid 80. I was wondering if this much heat at Nguyen was bad for him, and if so does anyone hVe any recommendations for getting the temp too drop.
Thanks

80 at night is not bad for him. As long as he does not overheat, he should be fine.

For a greek? Move him to a cooler area of the house? I'm no Greek expert, but 80 at night seems too warm. Every reference I've seen says to let them cool off a bit at night. No doubt they would have some warm summer nights in the wild, but 80? And every day and night?

I would say 80 is too warm. Greeks can comfortably go down to 60 at night unless you are maintaining a high humidity
