Been setting up 2 terrariums for baby leopard geckos and need help on what heating and lighting to get. I’ve got 2 bioactive 24x18x12s Im setting up for 2 baby’s. I just can’t seem to figure out what lighting, heating, thermostat, etc, would be best. I’ve always used arcadia with my cresties so I will probably stick with that if it’s a good enough option. Just wondering if anyone has similar things or knows what I should go with.
Leopard geckos are nocturnal. I would only provide UV for a very short period in the morning or the evening. Many of the morphs available are also some form of albinism or hypo melanism which affects the pigments in the eyes. UV should always be used with caution in those cases to avoid prematurely blinding the animal or causing cataracts.

Personally I don’t think UV/UVB should be used on leopard geckos. Period. Give that they are nocturnal. I have never used UV/UVB on any of my leopard geckos.
