Can a person use a black light light bulb for a night light for a Leopard Gecko?

Question

I have 2 full grown Leopard Geckos, I have a day light bulb in there aquarium but I don't have a night light, so I wondering if I could use a black light light bulb for a night light for them?

Answer 1

be careful with the kind of black light you buy. most of them heat up wayyy to quickly and smell like they are burning, many cases they can melt their holder, even if they are of low watt. id recommend using a red light bulb, by flukers, the reps cant see it, but you can see them. and it will give them adequate heat. geckos dont like sudden drops in temperature, they get really stressed from that and can loose their color.

Answer 2

they don't care if they have one or not. assuming they are warm enough.
if you would like a light that won't disturb them so that you can watch them, they sell them at most pet stores (red or black) that give a little warmth too.
have fun!
oh yeah, and as for the day light bulb, you can throw that out. it won't do anything but waste your electricity! maybe change the bulb on it for the other..

Answer 3

A billion years is quite awhile. If humans are still around as such, we'll probably have converted into beings of pure energy or something like that. Some other species will probably have "grown up" on Earth to take our place, though. Dolphins seem most likely to me.

Answer 4

yes you can they wont see the light and you can see the geckos doing their thing when they come out at night good idea

Answer 5

Maybe I have a pink light bulb.

Answer 6

Leopard Geckos don't need any light's at night. Their temps can drop, and they do not need lights to see. Do they have a UVA-UVB light? And a heating lamp? That's all they need!
