summer lighting

[Lala0]

hi, i know in the winter chams are meant to get 12 hours of light on and 12 off. I have read about people increasing the length of time the light is on in the spring to make it feel natural. Is this ok to do?

Yes. I match my lighting roughly to the rising and setting of the sun. So in the summer the lights are on a few hours longer than in the winter.

Some users do match daylengths, but by no means is it necessary. You are fine keeping 12 on/12off all year as well.

Thanks for the replies, the only reason I wanted to do it was So I can have more time with my Cham!

I match the sun as closely as possibly. So it's longer during the summer and shorter in the winter. So right now my lights are on at 7 and off at 8. In winter it may be more like 7-5:30.

I was just wondering about this.

Simba's lights go off and he's in bed well before the sun sets now.

Think I'll increase his daylight hours now too.
