Based on the thermometer in my leopard gecko tank, the range of temp is around 25 to 34°C and my country only has sunny and rainy seasons.
I'm told that lighting or any heating equipments are not required by breeders and shops in my country so i wanna recheck if this is true based on the attached image of my country's usual temp. Humidity would be around 50 to 70% in my tank.

nqa we still recommend heating in your country because even if your ambient temperature requirements are met, no heat lamp means you aren't getting the tequired basking temperature of ~95f

basking is still extremely important in aiding digestion

#

if anything, the tank should be placed in a naturally cooler area indoors so that your cool side ambient can be lower

hmm but these are the breeder's geckos and they look healthy without the lightings and all

#

and my mom is pretty hesitant to spend money on my geckos :[

#

do u think its a safe option if no heating equipments

our job as pet owners is to make sure our animals are living the best life that we can provide

even if someones geckos seem healthy, it doesnt sit well with me to just say "thats good enough" and not make the improvement

#

i personally do not think its safe. others may have different opinions, but i personally have had to spend a ton of money at the vet because i made a mistake with my heating

#

so for myself, i cant work with anything less than the recommended conditions.
