 Couple lighting questions

whats up everybody.i ’m kinda new to this gator thing and have been checking out this forum and have gotten some really good information some far just by cruzing around. so now to my question.i have a 125 gallon tank set up for my baby/juvanial gator.just moved him from a 30 gallon lastnight.the water temps about 75-80.temp is close to 85-95.now i’m using a fish tank light set up for him now and it seems like its keeping the temp pretty good.again,85-95.since the fish tank lights are keeping the temps up,does that mean i dont have to use a heat lamp?
