Turn ALL heat off at night?

[kevindeeley12]

Hi, I was told to shot everything off completely at night ( both lights ) and don't use a night light? This good?

as long as the temperature stays above 65F he sould be ok. turn off all lights and heat sources. usual photoperiod is 12hours.

Jscott is right, although i usually keep the lights on 14, off 10.

they can see red lights, so dont bother with them. if it gets cooler then 60F use a ceramic heat emiter of low wattage at night.

Okay thanks You guys rock, seriously. A person would learn way more in this forum than in a book, thats for sure.

this site sure is great . i sometimes scroll though old threads looking for related questions and see how they solved the problem. for instance; my LG(little guy) was constipated a few days ago. i became worried after he couldnt poop twice in a row. i was going to ask someone but i had to leave for work. i wanted to do something for him so i decided to use the google search feature on this site. if you scroll up, its found at the very top right of every page when your on this site. sure enough, i found many threads about this particular problem. i gave him alittle applesauce with a drop of extra virgin olive oil, made him right as rain :wink: .

Haha, man thats awesome. Not only does that mean this site ROCKS, but now i know what to do if Primo the Dragon gets constipated.

i was just going to ask the same thing, i wasnt sure what to do in case i was wrong, so i was only shutting everything off at 2am just in case to not leave him cold for that many hours.

how cold is it getting at night? what are you using to measure the temps, a stick on thermometer or a digital one?

 

[BennBeardy]

i have a red night light and he sleeps fine through it because it can get
cold in my room but not to cold i dont want him to freeze

 

[BennBeardy]

but come to think about it he does wake up time to time.
i think ill try it with the light off but i got no extra heat for him

Buy a Ceramic Heat Emitter.

 

[kirby]

if it drops below 60F, go out and buy a 40-60 watt (or even a 100 if you need it) ceramic heat emitter. something that keeps it arouns 70 or so is ideal.

when it comes to red globes, they are able to see that part of the light spectrum, its only snakes who cant.

 

[BennBeardy]

so should i keep with the light just untill i get the heat emiter?

 

[kevindeeley12]

yeah.
