all around the net i've read that lighting is not needed in a corn tank, however,on a few caresheets i've seen references to light being used for 12hour periods. so whats the deal?fill me in plz

thanks

In the wild, corns are nocturnal and therefore have no real need for light. Most of mine get the normal daylight in the house which changes with the seasons, and are healthy and now breeding (9 hatchlings about 5 weeks ago from 12 eggs, 2 keepers and sold the rest. Could have sold many more).
