İn winter in my home temp is about 45-50F at this stuation what can I do ? heating pad or ceramic lamp, UVA /UVB?

Mine overwinter at 58-60f in dark. A window above lets in lght but is dim. Occasionally I rouse them for water but they seldon drink.

So I understood you do not use a heating pad too or a lamp...okey

Exactly. Overwintering comes naturally to them. It benefits them. Good luck with yours.
