MVB how long should i leave it on??

ChicoB Jan 16, 2004 03:57 PM

Hi all! Is it ok the keep my MVB on during the entire day cycle? It is the only light i use above my cage and my Cham (Toka) seems to sit under it most of the day. The basking spot created by the mvb is at about 96 degrees. Im asking because i read a few posts in which people where asking if leaving the MVB on for more than a few hours was a bad idea. Thank all

Luna also has a flouresent though, my veiled seems to like sitting in the basking spot for most of the day. If i dont have a flour the i should leave my MVB on all day?
