Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Blacklight are very bright
I have a blacklight and I know that they have very bright ultraviolent rays that we cannot see but it hurts to stare at them. If you are wondering about bulbs for the day I just use a 40 watt basking bulb hooked up to a rheostat to bring down the brightness. As for night the geckos depend on belly heat so I would use heat tape or a heat pad for them. Not a heat rock for those can get very hot and create burns.

black lights won't work cuz they don't emit the same amount of heat as these HEAT bulbs do.
I use the moonlight bulbs myself and think they're great. I leave em on 24/7 in the winter, and let the natural lighting from the windows regulate the day time lights. In the summer, i turn them off at nite.
a UTH is good, but I'd be careful about leaving both the heat lamp and the UTH on at the same time, can get VERY hot!

I use 100 watt infrared red bulbs. They are not very bright but they keep the tank temperature around 80 degrees.
