    Default What type of lighting for nocturnal viewing?

    What bulb would you recommend for night/nocturnal viewing of RETFs? I know exo-terra makes a blue moonlight bulb. Any good? Or should I go with a red zoo med?

    Default What type of lighting for nocturnal viewing?

    They both have one major pro and also a major con.
    Zoo med:
    Pros: it is a brighter night light for viewing so you can see better
    Cons: for me at least the red light bothers me AND my frogs
    Exo terra:
    Pros: my frogs became very night active after i put in this light
    Cons: the reason they are more active is because the exo terra light is very dim and i could barely see
    The question i had to ask myself was do i want to see my frogs doing nothing or not see them doing everything?
    In the end i chose the night glo

    Sorry that i probably made this choice ten times harder for you!
