Which light should be 12 hours on and 12 hours off? Just the UVB or the heat/basking lamp or both?

Thanks Smile

Day/Night.....

So you can turn the lights on when you get up, and turn them off when you go to bed -

or you can buy a timer and set it, but I woudn't do 12hrs on / 12hrs off..

i would set it to turn on at 6:30-7... and shut off at 8:30.. so roughly a 14/10 split or so.. maybe even push it closer to 16/8, depending on how far north you are (the further north, the longer the days in the summer)
