Light?!?

[alysha101]

Okay so I have this old fish tank light pretty much. It's not old..its actually not really even used. It's just like the lights they put on the cages for most geckos and stuff. Is that gonna hurt my corn any, or affect the temps possibly?

Fish tank lights are probably U.V. and you don't need them for corns..
How about some pics of the dogs...I love them little fellas..LOL

I use a reptiglo 2.0 during the day. Very low UV and visual light.

I already have heaters on the tanks so thats not what im using it for. I just had it and thought it might look sorta cool on it...it actually does look cool. You said i dont need it for corns. I actually want it on there...would that be okay? And which dog or all? Lol.

The bulb I am using is not for a source of heat or UV, but for a good visual light for the viv. Corns dont have high UV requirments which is why I think it was said you dont need them.

Corns don't need UV. But hey, if you want a light on there because it looks cool, go for it. I have my display vivs lit up during the day. You might want to think about putting the light on a timer. You can get one at Walmart (or similar) for about $4. Personally, it saves me the trouble of remembering to turn the light on and off each day. It's also nice not to have to worry about being gone all night and leaving it on.
