Hello guys,
I have a leopard gecko in a 10g tank and I have heard many things about their light/heat needs and wants. i am so confused. Some people say that they don't need white light, some say they don't want it and some say they need it for 12 hours a day. Also, for the heat, some say they need hot habitats and some that they do ok without much heating. So I need your advice!
Right now, I have just one bulb on the habitat. A 50W black light heat 24/7. The thing is that the temperature goes up and down very easily due to the weird weather in toronto and I don't know what I should do.
More info on the habitat:
- substrate: reptile carpet
- one rock/hiding cave on the left (the one that has like a labyrinth inside.
- one bark on the right that serves as a hiding spot too with moss. both the wood and rock are at around 6" tall (half the tank's height)
Thanks in advance, I will post more info as the conversation goes on
