She'll need to be kept at about 75F so if your room is not that warm then yes... heat mat will be needed.

Yup. Males tend to, females not so much.

You can pick heatmats up on ebay very cheaply.

I bought 2 brand new Zoo Med ReptiTherms 6" x 9" for £6.50 that includes postage

and

a 12" x 8" brand new Zoo Med ReptiTherm for £8 again that includes postage.

Unfortunately the guy I bought them from doesn't have any at the moment though, but I guess you could ask him if he'll have any more.

Seller: roughboy205

ebay sellers don't tend to swap. He might not even be getting any more in, just message him and see.
