Hey i was wondering what schedule everybody has for their frogs? Like what time do you turn the light on in the morning and what time do you turn it off at night? thx

My lights come on at 8:00am and go off at 10:30 pm.

2.2.6 D. azureus
1.2.24 D. ventrimaculatus 'yellow'
1.1 D. tinctorius 'cobalt' (one subadult)
0.0.3 D. tinctorius 'patricia'
1.1 D. auratus 'blue'
0.2 P. aurotaenia

The lights are more for the plants than for the frogs. Therefore, try to mimic the actual real-life light pattern the plants would generally have in the wild. 12 to 14 hours is probably about average, maybe even less.

I meant to add that the actual hours of the day are 100% up to your liking. The 12-14 hours should obviously start when the lights turn on in during the day (i.e. 10am-10pm; 1pm-1am, etc.).

Also, if you haven't done so already, go to Home Depot and buy an automatic timer... well worth the money, probably around $8-$15.

I run mine lights from 5:30am to 7pm, and I feed them at about 6am. I agree with picking up a cheap timer. You can get some for as little as $5-8.
