is heat lamp light too visible
Hey guys I have a quick question. So ever since the weather changed I have been using heat lamps instead of just a UTH for my carpet and BRB for a supplementary heat source to keep the ambient temps up. My BRB in general isn't as active as my jungle but lately he hasn't been moving. His humidity and temps are spot on and the tank is kept very clean. He does come out to drink so I know he's alright as far as thats concerned.
The difference is the heat source being used, my jungle has a ceramic heat emitter and the BRB just has a red bulb. When the lights are off the jungle comes out but the BRB leaves only to feed when he knows I have food for him. May this be because even though the red is supposed to be less visible to them, they can still see it well since the filament is super bright and its making him think its always day time out which is why he's doesn't roam? Im thinking of switching to a ceramic emitter to see if he comes out at night more often. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
