Light Cycling in bedroom

[Jerah Teoh Yong Qiang]

Hi guys, complete beginner here.

So light cycles; here's the thing, my pacman's tank is sitting in my bedroom and gets about say, 10 hours of real, indirect sunlight from my bedroom windows.
At night however, it's a different story: the room uses fluorescent lights and I do have to keep one of them on to get stuff done around the room.
I wanna know, is there any adverse affects to my frog when I keep the lights on at night for a few hours? He does get about 6-7 hours of darkness a night

Well, I'm not sure if the artificial light will affect the frog. You could always cover the enclosure with a dark piece of clothes to provide darkness, while you go on with doing your stuff.

Yeah, thought of using a black towel for that. Might switch to using a standing table lamp also.

I have a Crested Gecko in my bedroom, and the light doesn't bother him. I do make sure that he gets darkness, though. Like what was said above, I would recommend you put something over the cage.

as i understand it, unless it is direct light to simulate daylight over the tank, the frogs shouldn't really be affected by it. I have kept my white's and mentellas in a room where there was overhead florescent lighting well after their lights out time and never saw any ill effects.

That's heartening news. I did move the tank to a darker spot though.
