night time bulb

What about a low wattage ceramic heat emitter on a dimmer switch? They offer heat with out light. I believe white's prefer darkness at night.

I agree! I have wasted so much $$$ on night bulbs. My RETFs are most definitively disturbed by both the red and the blue lights. I spend a lot of time watching my frogs ( especially , lately !) I put a light ( 60 watt bulb) on---- in a lamp way behind where I am sitting. It is plenty of light and does not seem to disturb them. I also sit w/ my ipad ( so I can be on FF - lol) The light from the screen does not seem to bother them either. Then, when I leave they are in complete darkness all night. I use ceramics hanging/suspended from the basement ceiling to heat- the heat is directed toward the side of the enclosures , not the top.
