New frog video - lighting change

Post a pic of the box it came in.

Its this one:

Nightlight Red Reptile Bulb

I realized they have an infrared one too. Its just simply shaped in a way to give off more heat like their basking light. This one is a little weaker, which is what I need. Know what I mean?

That explains it. Yeah thats just a low power red bulb. Infrared put off more heat.

If you look at the bottom of that page you will see various wattage options, including my 60 watt.

More intense heating capability with the infrared one I believe. Its a modified basking light with red glass, vs. the one I got which is a normal bulb design.

Both are fine, but I prefer the infrared basking bulbs because they are capable of producing more heat without being used at full power. Combined with a lamp that has a dimmer switch you could adjust the amout of heat and light more accurately and with less intensity.

Just so everyone knows these frogs can see red light, but it doesn't affect their day/night cycle.
