How warm should the terrarium temperature be?
Leopard Geckos need a temperature gradient in their habitat that ranges from 75° to 85°F during the day, with a basking area that reaches 90°F. This will allow them to move back and forth between the areas to regulate their body temperature. Nighttime temperatures should drop into the 70s. Under tank heaters can be used to maintain proper temperatures. Never use hot rocks, as these can burn your gecko. Always monitor terrarium temperature with at least two thermometers – one in the cool end and one in the warm end.
