They should have darkness at night, just like they would in the wild. However depending on your temps, you may need to give them heat. That is where the CHE comes in (ceramic heat emitter) heat no light.

Camera... Action
They need a night time, having the lights on all of the time interrupts their sleep cycle.

I hope you and all the others are not afraid to ask questions, you should never be afraid to ask.

i am using che and red light at night, however, I find CHE only focus on one spot,
sometime, my lucky doesn't sleep on the spot where the CHE hang above to provide heat, so I added the red light . so he can sleep wherever he wants with enough heat
