Hi Everyone,

From what I've seen so far, this seems to be a very friendly and informative forum

Exactly what I'm looking for

I'm Kat btw. Soon to be BP Mammy to 'Mya' who is a 7mo 100% het albino. I've fallen in love with her. Temperament, colour and markings..... just everything!!

I'm in the process of sourcing and setting up her viv and hope to bring her home end of next week or the week after (depending on how long it takes to get her setup just right!)

I think I've got all her requirements satisfied but I'd like to ask a question about lighting and overnight heating.

First though, here are a few pics of her which I took today when I went to pick up some décor from the reptile store:







My questions are:

Location of viv a bit gloomy so although they don't need light is it ok to still use one? Would a low wattage bulb be ok (in a mesh guard of course) for 12hrs a day? Goin to use an UTH mat to provide temp gradient so hoping bulb won't influence temps too much.

Also, overnight should I leave the UTH mat at the basking temp or should it be reduced?

Thanks in advance
