I have a 20g long that is on a bookcase in my office (reptile bark, u.t.h., 80-85degress, plenty of hides/climbing). My perceived problem is that I have shutters over my windows and I don't think my viv gets enough natural light for a day/night transition. (I think I read about 12 hours of each?)
So if this is the case, should I buy a hood with a timer strictly (to place over the screen) for lighting the tank (not heat). If so, could I also double it with blue bulbs to help with night viewing as well? (Today, I turn on the lamps and I think it scares them!)
Yes? No? Recommendations, please!
