It's actually better to have around 13-14 hours of light rather than 12-12. And yes, they need at LEAST 2 hours in the heat, preferably longer to digest a meal before the lights go out. I used to feed mine about 45-60 minutes after the lights came on in the a.m and the second meal around 4:00 p.m. Sometimes there was a third insect meal as well, and they would eat finely shredded pieces of greens as well. For hydration you really don't need a water bowl [ they rarely drink from one ] but I sprayed my babies with a gentle direct stream from a spray bottle. You don't soak the tank, just spray very gently on the snout. Mop up any excess water.
