Hi all

Just looking for people's opinions, so during the summer beardies get 12-14hrs of heat and uv and 10-12 in the winter.
It's 19.00hrs and my lil guy has put himself.to bed on his perch, should I have the timer switch off now or keep as is 06.00-20.00.
I was thinking in the UK the clocks go back an hour sonthats when I'll start moving him onto the 10-12hrs of heat and uv..
Thoughts...discuss

If he is out for the night I would shut the lights off -- your photo period sounds normal for most dragons

I went 7am to 7pm with the heat lamp, and I have the Uvb on from 8:30 am until 8:30pm and if u dont have a timer - get 2 it makes it so much easier ...
