Hello and welcome

Do you have a guard for your bulb? Better safe than sorry!
I keep my leopard geckos with bulbs and no heat mats; they live in wooden vivs in a warm room so the heat loss overnight isnt too much.
I guess you'll need to monitor the night time temperatures for a while and if it drops too low then it might be idea to invest in a mat

you leave the bulb on at night. Best idea is to get yourself an IR bulb not a pain in the backside at night time.
