Don`t be !.
How warm is the room you`ll be keeping T in, I use heat mats for over night if the room Temp drops below 73F but generally in my lounge it never drops below 75F, but you will need a thermostat to regulate the heat, don`t use mat without one. This time of year in UK, should be fine without heat mat use.

I will be keeping him in my bedroom. It stays pretty warm in there. And if the house temp drops to 22c then the heating comes on

I've had them in the post for 10 days in one of those vials and they've been fine

That looks great but it might be a good idea to add more substrate so that if it climbs the side and falls it can't fall too far and hurt itself.

That looks better. He/she looks gorgeous :). Congratulations on your first and may it be the first of many.
