if its that they bask at night wich they do like i said i use a red bulb at night and its in the same place my basking spot in the day is , i see my croc basking in the day , and i also see him in the night basking under the red bulb. this is the way ive kept all my monitors and they all do the same thing (basking in the day under the day bulb and at night under the red bulb) and they eat grow and are doing just fine. so its a personal choice like i said having the lights on 24/7 so you dont have to change anything is also just making it easy for the keeper, its not really that hard to change a bulb you can use 60 watt day then a 60 watt night(red) same wattage you get the point or a little lower at night for a night time temp drop
