I am not convinced you would need to. What is the night temperature? It may actually stress her little body to keep her too warm at night, with hot days.Question we live in Texas so it is pretty hot during the day but not so much so at night. We have also been getting rain more lately. But anyways should I put a heat lamp above my female's nest not close but just to give it light and maybe keep it a little warmer. If so just at night or 24/7
