Keeping UV Light On?

[Brylee1233]

Currently I have a UV light on daily over my snake's enclosure to grow moss in the cage. I will be going away for 5 days and will not have someone turn the light on and off every day. I thought could just leave the light on while I am gone so the moss doesn't die but I was thinking it may effect my BRB and because he's nocturnal and I do not want to mess up his "nocturnal cycle." Will it? If it does cause a problem I will move it in a container by itself…

Thanks

They have timers you can attach to the light. You can get one that does it on a hour basis (12 hrs on 12 hrs off) or one that you set a time to for on and off (on at 6am off at 6pm)

I don't think that would be very wise, but their are plenty of good quality low cost timers. I would suggest picking up a 24hour basic timer, their pretty common you can even find them at grocery stores and only cost like 10 dollars.
