I purchased an incandescent light bulb today 75 watt for my frogs because my black light burned out and I figured since its getting cold I can use this for nocturnal viewing; so I turned it in tonight and let it go for about two hours (8-10) and when k came back up they were both still sleeping so I shut the light off to see if they were just being lazy and the oldest finally woke up and hopped around shortly followed by the other one. So should I keep it on so that they realize that they get used to it or Leave them be without a light and not be able to see them ):
I'll vote for leaving the light off as long as your night time temperatures are fine.
My RTFs are the same way. Even the night lighting from my WTF viv deters the RTFs from moving about.

Could it be that to wattage is too much for them?
the wattage does seem too high. I use red lights on my cages and they start moving and croaking as soon as it comes on.
I'm gonna try it for a few hours if they are still sleep walkers than I'm just gonna trash the bulb
