    Default What night light for red eyed tree frogs?

    My frogs got in today and I was wondering what color night light would be the best for them at night and is 60w too much? Thank you!

    Nikko,

    My Reds hate any kind of light at night. I have tried a 25w red light. I even have 4 blue LED lights that I try to turn on to get them use to it, but they HATE light. They are currently in the Living room and even the soft glow from the TV bothers them from time to time. They are going to get relocated to the new frog room I am setting up in the basement in the future because we know they will be happier in a darker quieter place.

    I use the light on my cell phone to spy on them from time to time, but it does really bother them. It is really hard not to watch them all the time, but we try to leave them alone as much as we can.

    Ok awesome! I will leave them dark at night. Also I built a waterfall in my terrarium is it ok to leave that on at night for them?

    Hi! I had an LED blue light and an LED white. I didnt realize that even the blue light bothers them so I wont be leaving any light on at night. My Q is, does it matter if I have the blue light or the white light during the day? Sometimes I switch it between blue and white but I dont know if it matters to her. Thanks!

    Depends on the white light. My LED system runs both the blue and the white during the day. The blue doesn't do anything for plant growth.

    Thanks! My LED system has a choice of just blue, just white, or both on at the same time, so I wasnt sure if it was just for my preference.

    I agree w/ Paul.
    I spy with a little flashlight.

    I have tried both red and blue bulbs.
    IMO both bother them , despite what is written about this subject.

    You could put on a dim light ( several feet away ) .
    It usually doesn't bother them much as long as it's not on for a long time.
    You'll know if it's too bright ---- the will simply close their eyes
