how much light does my gecko need

[Longfeather1]

How much light does my gecko need ? I hear so many peoplefight over this?

 

[BLUSH50]

I did 14 hours daylight in summer and 12 hours daylight in the winter.

 

[Longfeather1]

ok

 

[Longfeather1]

even with a heat mat

Yes. My lighting was provided by the UVB but some people who choose not to use UVB use a low watt bulb.

 

[Longfeather1]

I just bought one to it looks like it has two u bulbs in it

 

[Longfeather1]

But they told me not to leave it burn to long they wear out fast

In my opinion your gecko needs enough light to know when it's daytime and when it's night time. I don't use lights for any of my leopard gecko cages. They are in the living room and dining room and there are lots of windows
