Kid, I have several types of quail in an open air building...it does get into the teens here with a negative windchill factor...and none of them need a heat lamp. Been doing it for years.

Cornishcross If you don't have any more time than every few days to check on animals in YOUR care...get a fish.

How warm does it get in the day, you could live in one of those desert type things where it's 110 in the day and 10 at night

Nope its temperate here...30 during the day..teens at night...but you bring up a very good point....it does matter which temperate zone you live in to determine what is or isn't needed for the proper care. I'd imagine in Alaska...or New England...heat lamps might be a requirement.

When I was in Iraq...and even Afghanistan for that matter...it wasn't uncommon to hit 120-130 during the day and 60's at night....
