What temperature would you advice a beardie's viv to be both at night and during the day??

We have got a thermometer but have never really been told the correct temp, now during the day it is just under 90 and at night just under 80??

Hi, Kaye.  Disregard my question about temps.  I saw this post second.

For beardies under 1 year of age, the basking area should be around 105F and the cool side should be around 85F.  For beardies over a year, the basking around should be between 95 and 100F.

At night, temps should not drop below 65F.

It is recommended to measure temps with a digital probe thermometer.  You can pick these up pretty cheap at local stores, like Wal-Mart.

The problem with people is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself
