Sounds like a good system What tubes you using? If you go for European made lamps, they can sometimes last longer. I like zoomeds reptisuns. I agree, they definitely do better with bright lighting on them imo. I remember when I first got oriental fire-bellied toads when I first started and the guy at the pet shop told me that they should be kept without light as they'll shun it, but we all know how pet shop staff can be.
