A blacklight at night really is not necessary. If your house is about 74ish or above it will be fine without one, just make sure its that temp, if you need to put the cage near a vent or buy a cheap space heater. If anything, the intense temperature at night might disrupt its sleep. Also, get a temp gun, mine is a little rod attached to a long cord with a little screen that shows the temp. Just use that to make sure the basking spot is 95-100, once you have the basics down, its actually fairly easy.

Probably the #1 thing of importance- Dont do anything to make it hiss or get scared. Frillies are wierd like that, some die because they are too busy trying to avoid predators, and everything else they do, sleep, eat, drink, etc. will come to a hault.
