I have a collared lizard and was wondering if, in the winter, I should turn his heat lamp up a few degrees?

Hope this hel[pdyou shouldn't have to do changes unless you room gets a lot colder in the winter as mine does, I kept two geckos for 12 years and I found putting a thick piece of packing like polystyrene between the outside back of the tank and the wall did the job, but keep a check on the temp as it might build up slowly.Hope this helps.

No, you should keep the temp in the environment the same year round. Just make sure you are using a good bulb and a little shade is provided too.

If you live in an older house that gets colder in the winter, then yes, you should try to keep his temps stable, which may require increasing wattage/power.

Only if the temperature in the cage is dropping with the outside temperature. If it's staying the same temp in the cage all year around then you don't have to do anything.

temp shouldnt change, if you find you cant get the right temp try upping the wattage of the light/che,whichever your using.

no, it should be at a steady temp all year round.
