Default Will Uro be ok at room temp for a few nights?

We're going away for 4 nights in a couple weeks so my plan was to get a timer for my Uro's lights so they go off automatically at night. At the moment I set the thermostat at around 18c at night but my room temp does go down as low as 14/15c on cooler nights. Will this be ok for her for a few nights? Oh's niece will be popping up to change her food etc but just thought a timer would be easier rather than her having to come up morning and night to potch with the thermostat.

Should be fine, just keep windows etc shut. Or buy a day night thermostat or a night eye probe

Uro's don't really need heat at night, in the desert etc temps at night can drop very very low. Mine aren't heated at night come 7pm everything turns off and they drop to room temp, my house is quite cold too and there fine and i've found that nights that the central heatings not on n the temp drops a fair bit there more active the next day.

There be fine
