Yeah, they are naturally nocturnal and spend their daytimes underground in termite mounds in the wild. Supplemental lighting wouldn't even get to them. :)
Don't be fooled by what some herp vets tell you. They apply reptile knowledge and care techniques to ALL reptiles, when each species has its individual set of needs. I had my vet tell me a snake that hides all day needs UVB lighting. I just smiled and laughed on the inside. :rolleyes:
