red bulbs are good for night viewing and will not effect night/day cycle. You should look into a under tank heater BP need belly heat, it helps break down and Digest their Food.
Be carefull with all heat sources as they can become too hot if not controlled with a thermostat or rheostat etc.
My only issue is that my bedroom is the only available room in the house where I can put my brand new BP, and that heat lamp does keeps things warm in the room. I love sleeping at night with my window air conditioner on, but I'm afraid I'll negate the effects of the heat lamp if I turn it on. Oh well - I always have my ceiling fan.
