This guy is an idiot.

you dont need a special light. you just need to have a light source so the gecko knows the difference between night and day. have an undertank heating mat and a nocturnal heat lamp.

@20hayden11  they can use it because they still can suffer from lost of calicum but can use a calicum dish and they will lick it so look it for more info

@pumpkin28ful leos benefit MUCH MORE from a heating pad, all a uv or a uvb light is just cook the leopard geckos, it actually can damage them severly!

[pumpkin28ful]

could you just get a fish aquarium light

[NoteBlockGaming]

Lol just feed them some calcium.. much easier

[ProfessionalPets]

leopard geckos are nocturnal and do NOT need uvb lighting

infared heat bulbs are the best because leopard geckos can't see red and it won't bother them
