Hello all,
I recently moved my collection to a new T room, my walk-in closet, which I have modified to fit my needs. Of course I have removed all clothes etc. I have also insulated the door so that I can maintain an isolated/ controlled climate in this room and sealed all cracks. Though this may sound a bit unorthodox, I am using a bulb to heat the room. Not to worry, it is away from my enclosures. This seems to be working perfectly as the room is currently being kept at around 80 degrees during the day. At night I turn this light off and allow the room to drop to the mid and occasionally the low 70's. I am planning on hanging this bulb (75 watts) several inches from the ceiling of my closet. During the winter I am planning on purchasing and installing a secondary "red" heat bulb (60 watts) which I will hang in a similar fashion for use at night. I just purchased a timer and I am planning to put my T's on a 12 hours light 12 hours dark cycle. My closet has no windows, my question is, will the use of an artificial light/ dark cycle negatively effect the health of my T's. Any comments pertaining to the design of my new T room are also welcome. I know it sounds like somewhat of a sketchy setup but believe me when I say that it is not nearly as sketchy as it may sound by my description.
