Importance of Difference in Temperatures?

Hey, I recently brought Mulberry (my 2 month old veiled) to my girlfriend's house where he is going to stay for the next few weeks while travel home from school for Thanksgiving. Her house is kept much warmer than my apartment, and I was wondering where the best place is to keep Mulberry.

At the moment he's in a room where the temperatures are consistently in the high 70's, and i have just had his UVB bulb on him during the day. Is it very important that he has a 10-15 degree drop in temps at night? When he is at my apartment I usually keep it in the 80's during the day with the use of Fluker's 50watt day bulb and the low-mid 70's at night.

Should I have him moved to a cooler room where he can use the Day Bulb as his source of heat for the daytime, or is he okay to stay where the temps aren't changing as much?

Generally, the resting temps are supposed to be in the high 70s. I don't think it has to exactly be a 10-15 drop. I drop mine around 8 degrees. Im sure a little less would be okay.

I would recommend a 10 degree drop at night if possible especially as he gets older.
