jerzreptile21 Apr 01, 2004 01:10 PM

Ive got 3 albinos in a 10 g tank.1 babies and 2 juvies.Theres 1 humid hide and 3 dry hides They still have trouble sharing the hides.Anyway is aquarium light bulbs good for their lighting in the tank.I had them like this for about 2 months now.Will red or blue light bulbs be better for my tank ?

light isnt a nessesity for leos. sun replicated light will help brake down calcium, but they really dont need it unless its your only light source. blue or red will b fine.

If that is what you are referring to, red is not as bright as blue. Hope this helps!
Here is the dude I have the blue light over:

Geckos cant see the blue or red lights.But im talkin bout albinos.Not regular geckos.Cuz albinos eyes are sensitive to regular light i was told.Their like red and tan like eyes..
