well i went on vacation for a few days and left my veiled with my friend who keeps herps and left him a little caresheet for her about lighting and misting schedules. well they neglected to read the part about the bright full spec ligh being on 12 hrs a day and they left it on 24/7! this was for about 4 days that she has had no night time i realize this is surely stressfull (i would get pissed too if i couldn't turn off a bright light above my bed) but i was wondering if i should extend her next night-time or what to relieve some stress please help. thanks a ton.

I would just get her back to her normal schedual asap. I think that changing again to longer night times will just mess her up even more. Just keep an eye on her, and if anything seems wrong go from there. Best of luck!

Well with the light being left on for a few days no stop, I would be concerned about heat/humidity and dehydration. Make sure you keep a close eye on the eyes!LOL If you have silkworms or hornworms feed them for a few days to help hydrate. Don't change the normal light cycle you are using just keep things the same. He/she probably found a dark spot in the cage and slept there if there is one in the cage. Hope this helps!
