    Default LED lighting too strong?

    i was at the local petsmart today and saw some LED lighting. i wonder if this is too intense for Grays tree frogs, who don't seem to need much heat or lighting. I am heading to a reptile show on saturday, so i can wait, just curious about my options. i wanted to find a blue light that does not give off heat, for nighttime, but all the ones i saw give off heat. still do not have an enclosure for when they grow up, and right now they are only the size of japanese beetles so are fine in their kritter keepers. trying to figure out what i want and what is safe.

    Default LED lighting too strong?

    Led lighting is perfectly fine and doesn't give off any heat from the bulb. The fixtures can get a bit hot, but that heat doesn't enter the Viv. I always recommend aquatraders.com for led lighting because their light fixtures are excellent, and their prices simply cannot be beat. Of course, you are going to need a tank before you can shop for a fixture.

    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
