making my plans to make a house for the geckos have a heating question

[Overkill]

As of now i have the basking lights and red(night) bulbs there to keep the tank warm


Thinking of using flexwatt in the setup for heat and a florescent bulb for light which will give them them uvb i think it is


Would this be fine or is there something else to consider ???

thanks for any info

also thinking of adding a small fan in the rear corner of the opening to get more air into the tanks a small one like a 2x2 fan

Have you searched through this topic and looked at people's set ups yet? You really don't need basking lights or uvb lights for Leos. A red light for night time viewing is fine but they only need belly heat. If you can tell whether it's night or day in the room, so can they and that's enough for a light cycle.

i know the light isnt Really needed but im gonna put some red lighting and some day light not for them but for viewing

Just be careful with the "day" lighting. There are a lot of lights that can burn Leopard geckos.

thats why i was gonna use the flo lights
they are safe for them
