: ...its gonna take a lotta time...before ig settles down right....its gonna take a lotta time...before he stops the fight...its gonna take alot of time...before I see the light and shoot his onrey lil butt!....lolol
: I can't sing worth a hoot.
: Yeah they gotta have a photoperiod much like our own. About 10-12 hours light and 12-14 night. I'd go for the longer night time hours being its winter & all. I have heat lamps or che's in each of my igs enclosures.Ive got timers on everything too!! night heat, day heat, uvb, heat pads....I doubt that pet stores have their lights on ALL night long probably set on timers of some sort or have the central heating on so that there is a constant night temp of 70 or? . Oh and if you are going to heat your igs cage/tank up using heat lamps and che's you need to make sure the fixture is a porcelin topped one so it won't melt from the heat. Im wondering .....here's the ? so pay attention!! lolol if instead of also providing daytime heat in the form of basking bulbs (regular household bulbs)what about just having the che's, and heat lamps alone on 24/7 and let the natural daylight,night cycle do its thing? Whatcha think? Pros? Cons?

I know people that do that with the heat bulb only, but I personally don't like it because most houses tend to be rather dark and dreary. Perhaps if you had a real sunny house-- to me it seems happier in the cage with the bright light.
