Do red Bulbs disturb tree frogs?

And how do you enjoy your frogs if you don't see anything ? :S I love contemplate them

There is actually some research that shows red eyed tree frogs can "see" and be bothered by the red 'night lights'
I have this info stored in the heap - somewhere. I'll try to find it and post the link here.

I remember member ViperJr ( whom I respect tremendously ) posted information here on FF about this as well. Do a FF search!

I have personally - tried the red. I have to say I believe my frog's (A callidryas and A. moreletii) activity declined when I used them.
I no long have ANY lights on at night- they are in complete darkness/ using timers. As a result of using the timer and consistency; my frogs wake up within minutes after the lights go out !

You're funny
I use night glass / binoculars..... just kidding !

Seriously........
I turn a light on (way the other side of the basement ----little 40 watt bulb) they don't go back to sleep.
I certainly don't sit there all night. ( although I would like to ) I do need to sleep !
You could use a little flash light?
Sadly, there hours are opposite ours (mine anyway )

LOL! I sit down a half hour before sleep! I think it will be enough with a night Glo of 26W
