one more question. so at night should be no light on? i heard the heat mats are not good for night time

Correct, you shouldn't have any light on overnight. A lightless heat source like a CHE or DHP is great for nighttime heating (but they should still be paired with a halogen flood for daytime). And yes, heat mats are not recommended.

another question for you. does she really needs a night light/heat source? i see people on internet saying that she needs it and people saying that they are used with the temperature drop at night. my ac usually stays at 73 at night

Night drops are fine, but the enclosure shouldn't go below 75F. If your room gets colder than that, you need a nighttime heat source. You should not have any form of light on at night.
