Hi, I'm using a night-glo exo-terra light bulb with a heat lamp. The temps in the tank are perfect for my JCP. I know it's a light for nocturnal purposes but I keep that light on constantly 24/7. Is this ok to do? He seems fine, sleeps all day, eats well, and is in good health. His tank is by the window so there's plenty of light coming in during the day. If that light is always on does it confuse the animal? He sleeps during the day and gets plenty of light from the window so I don't see how it would confuse him. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
