What time do you turn your tort's light off for the night?

[SuzyH]

I always turn Speedy's light on at 8:30am and turn it off at 8:30pm. I don't have a timer, I just picked those times because I knew I'd be home at that time everyday.
Usually he digs himself down and is sleeping around 7pm so turning the light off at 8:30 is never an issue. Today I went in at 8:30 and he was basking. Leg and head out, all relaxed. Looked like he was having a real zen moment so I figured I let him finish his bask before turning the light off. 9pm and he's still basking. Got me wondering if other torts occasionally stay up a little later too.

I have a Sulcata named Spunky, Sometimes he's up as late as 9:30 or 10 pm. Lol I'm not sure why but occasionally he's a night owl too.

Lights on a time, are on at 7 a.m. fed at 8-8:30 a.m. and then they are off at 7p.m.

 

[abclements]

Lights on at 7:00am where he is usually already up and warming under the heat lamp. Feed around 8-11ish depending on my class schedule for the day. He's bedded down around 4-5ish and lights off at 8:00 pm. My lights are on a timer.

I use a timer and have the lights come on at about 6 am and off at 7:45 pm. They get fed at about 9 am when I head to work.

When the torts retreat then the day lights go out and the night mood lights come on....bow chicka bow wow...

No timers here...some old fashion business still goes on here in these here desert flats....

I don't have any timers.

Lights go on in the morning at 6:45 a.m. and go off at night at 7:45 p.m.

Exactly the same timings as yourself, 8:30am-8:30pm but Herbert seems to think its bed time all the time at the moment but before he would put his head down around 6:30-7pm

Timer is set for 6am on, 8pm off.

Mine are on a timer. On at 6.30am off at 19.30pm. My greek wakes up at lights on if he is sleeping close to the mvb, otherwise he wakes around 10.30. He is always in bed by 4-5pm.
