When I left at 8:30 a.m. this morning (school delay!), the lights had been on for 3 hours. When my husband got home at 5:30 p.m., they were off. We have no idea how long they were off, but he got them working again and Scaley immediately got to basking. He usually goes to bed about 5 p.m. but he has been basking for 2.5 hours now.
How detrimental is being without lights for up to 9 hours but probably not that long? Should I leave them on longer tonight? (They usually go off at 9.)
A DAY W/OUT UV IS NOT ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT so long as the room remained warm enough.
I ONLY WORRY about extended cold weather power outagres (say 3 or more days) because my home 100% electrical and I have not got any non-electrical heating .
