    Lighting/Temps and Day/Night

    I have a female Ball who is 3 years old and just started eating regularly, 2 mice every week. I just wanted to know how many hours of daytime should she needs, what the temp gradient should be during the day as well as how many "night" hours should she get. Thanks a lot!

    Re: Lighting/Temps and Day/Night

    Hi,

    Are you trying to breed her or anything?

    If not I would probably go for 14 light against 10 dark and keep the temp gradient constant day or night at 80-82f cool end and 90-93f warm end.

    But really they tend to do fine with just ambient room light most of the time.

    Have a read through the caresheet and see if it brings any other questions to mind.
