Hello,
My little Sheldon, a 2 oz cherryhead, has an outdoor enclosure that he visits several
hours a week when I am home and weather permitting. We live in So.FL so our afternoons
at this time of the year can be in the uppers 70's low 80's at times.
Every morning I turn on Sheldon's lights at 5 am. His little head pops up from where he decides to have burrowed into the substrate for the night & he seems to
warm up a bit and then goes to view what is on the menu for the morning. He eats & drinks well, no worries. I turn off his lights 4:30-5:00 pm.
So, when hes older and he has the sun as his lighting, where he will actually
experience sunrise and sunset, will his warm up period take longer before he eats ?
And then when he is getting indoor lighting, since it is instant on and off with the power
switch, is he getting more light than he would if he was outdoors ?
Am i over thinking this or will his schedule change when he eventually lives
outdoors ?
Thanks
