I always go for fruit names because the represent longevity and good luck. If it were me, probably pineapple, yuzu, lemon, or peach. Sorry that they are no where near your name choices.
The sun “turns off” every night. It is natural to turn off the light at night to simulate a day’s cycle. I’m am fairly @Sarah_sinc meant 9:30pm which is more than enough daylight.
Most reptiles don’t require the same amount of oxygen that mammals need to survive; however, many agree that they need airflow to prevent them from getting sick. Stagnant moist air can be a breeding ground for bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It seems that many from the forum have been able to...
