Red light at night ???

[Ownerofzellakelso]

Do beardies really need that red light at night ??? Because my beardie always goes into her cage where the light don’t shine & it’s cooler. I never see her lay under the basking light at night & if I don’t necessarily need it I want to know cause I can also save money on my electric bill.

Beardies never should have a red light at all. I'm guessing some petstore gave you that terrible advice?
Anyway beardies see all colors so that red light bothers them at night and they can barely get any sleep when its on.

Ditch the red bulb and if you need night time heat you can use a ceramic heat emitter, but thats only if temps drop below 65.
