I'm considering getting some kind of lighting in my Crestie viv for the Ficus plants, they just don't live that long, and I really don't want to keep replacing them.

Do any of you use lights for the plants, if so what ones? Ideally I'm after some kind of tube light because I have all the fittings already.

If you use lights, do you notice any change in the Cresties behaviour? Do they just hide more?

If not, I think I'll go back to fake plants!! Rolling Eyes

ah well.

i use the repti glo tubes with my plants, always have and they are thriving, as are the cresties. they dont hide all the time, only as you would expect in the day time but they do still venture out form time to time in the light.
