Rob,
I used 4' florsecent (sp) lights, that I intially took outside and spray-painted them with blue paint! LOL!
This was before I learned you could buy "colored plastic tubes" available in red or blue, that slip over the bulbs, thus creating a "nocturnal" effect.
They seem to like it and will come out of hiding more often than not.
I also reversed my lighting schedule.
I had normal bright lites come on at "our" nite time, and had the blue, or nocturnal lites come on in the daytime.
As you know, a lot of zoo's do this when displaying nocturnal animals, such as Sugargliders, Owl monkeys,, Sloths, etc.
