Yeah, it usually ends up being more like 7 and a half hours, I turn it on before I go to bed about midnight once the enclosure has had a chance to cool down a wee bit, then turn it off at about half 7 in the morning when I go through to see him.
Pothos are pretty ubiquitous, and some philodendrons are often mistaken for them.
I let him out on the Missus' plant table in front of the window for about 4 hrs., 1-2X per week. It gives me a chance to clean his enclosure, my Missus a chance to tend his plants, and him a chance to play 'Gargoyle".
Good plan.
If you do, the more plants, the better.
He's upstairs so I think he likes the height he's at when he's looking out the window!
So it goes when they're young and growing quickly. It slows as they get older.
I keep both mine on for 12 hours then both of for 12 hours my cham go to bed at 10 and wakes up at 10 every day I give her 2 feedings one at 1:30 pm and one at 7:30 pm around 6-10 bugs each time depending witch they are crickets she eats lots super worms I’ll give her one or 2 and sometimes a hornworm whitch she loves lol she sprints for them

His colours have really started to get more vibrant after his latest shed.
He's started wanting to climb on me too, he'll stretch his wee hands up to me until I put a hand out for him to climb on. Then he goes up and sits on my head for a while and looks out the window! I never, ever pick him up, he decides when he comes out and when he goes back. He saw a cat today and wouldn't take his eyes off it
