I have an extra reptiglo 8.0 bulb that I dont use. I was wondering if I could use it with my geckos. One is an albino, another is leucistic, and the last is normal. Will this strength of light hurt them?
Thanks

UV lighting should not be used with albino animals.................fact I learned on the "Pet Guys Show".

Leos dont need anything else but a UTH. If the enclosure is still too cool you can put a dome lamp on top and use a regular house bulb that you can find at Walmart to heat the enclosure. But other than that they dont need any fancy lighting at all.

If you have a heatlamp the best bulb is plant grow bulb becuase it makes yr geckos colour bright.

The UV from the plant bulb is what makes the colors nice and bright, well that and they are probably full spectrum bulbs. The UV is definitely a plus. Most plants and animals benefit from exposure to UV.
