My herp room currently had 2 windows, but I am considering moving into a new house, and its looking like my herp room won't get any natural light. Of course, I will have my lights on a timer (like I do now anyways).

What's everyone's thoughts on a no-natural-light herp room?

Thanks,
Joel

To be honest I don't think it really matters.

I have had mine in a room with no natural light for three years and they are all fine. Just make sure you have ample light and everything will be alright.

mine are in a cellar room.window blocked to keep heat in.I run heater the same temps almost all year.........almost....I do raise it and drop ir 12 degrees a day at times....

anyways.no light same heat.yet they know when it;s summer,,winter,,fall,,spring.they know when it's nighttime,,daytime...and when a storm is coming and all.....

they can sense everything............

My herp room at my old place didn't have any windows and it was in a basement. I had the flourescent lights on a timer for a day/night cycle. They seemed to do fine. I now have filtered light in my snake room (basement windows have blinds on them) but the flourescent lights are still on a timer.
