hey all,
I have a few questions regarding the sleep of a veiled baby. When I first began research (before getting her) I learned you leave the UVB on during the day, 12 hours, and 12 hours basking light. Upon further research, I don't need this heat source (I live in Arizona) and I was a bit misinformed. Now without the light it left her in the dark, the next morning I turned her basking on in the morning (8am). She ate and was pretty active but I believe the change stressed her, she went completely black and retreated to a corner in her terrarium. It lasted only about an hour, she's back to normal color and walking around. Should I continue this change of no lamp at night? Other than that she hasn't given me any other abnormal behaviors.
