Hello,

Yes where you live can have some bearing on how much external heat you will need.

Also unless you have a pet store dedicated to reptiles then you will likely be misinformed by your standard pet store worked.

Each herp has his own unique set of requirements and while i know far too much about reptiles, I went ahead and checked some care sheets about your gecko. Here is what i found:

They do not require U.V. light exposure (with proper supplementation), and their preferred temperature range is in the mid 70's, meaning that in most homes, they will thrive at room temperature without supplemental heat. They are very resistant to cool temperatures, and can easily handle nighttime temperatures into the low 50's as long as they are able to warm up in the day. Crested Geckos are, however, sensitive to high temperatures and should always be kept below 85 degrees. Above this, they can become stressed, and exposure to high temperatures for prolonged periods of time can be lethal.

I would start by getting a good thermometer in the cage to determine what the temp is and go from there. Sounds like you might not need a thing. ;)
