Hi CC!
Yep, what Artie said. Daylight is actually longer than the heating.
My girls are quite near a balcony door, glass wall to ceiling, so I don't actually need a day light, that takes care of itself, (with regular visits out into natural sunshine for UV of course).

Ok kewl,
I have had this discussion atleast 20 times and always get diff answers,Ive been told to winter cool after there 1st year,told not to cool until 3 yrs old,been told less heat hours more heat hours etc etc etc. I personally havnt owned a diamond YET! but with the info I have I am sooooo confused.I post threads on behalf of what info I have read or been told and get many answers,questions in return and many other opinions diff to mine. Seems your regime is pretty much on the ball so I will have to write that down and use that as reference from now on.
So thanks for the information much appreciated!!!

Hi Nic. Don’t you use uvb light?
Cyber, I reduce the light as the seasons go, I don’t think we have 14-hour days at the moment. |

It's always good to get heaps of different takes on it and then decide which way you will go. I like getting heaps of ways and methods even if some are conflicting, all good stuff I say.
Artie, no UV globe for Tiff, I think regular natural sunlight does her better.
There is a nice spot inside my other balcony door where I can open the door completely and have sunlight stream in, so even this morning I was able to pop her on her climbing perch in the sun, but still have her inside out of the wind.

Cyber: It's good that you've gotten many differing opinions, that's the only way to make a well rounded judgement. You can't just go off the first thing someone tells you.You'd be stuffed if they were wrong.Lol

Hi Cyber, yes it can get quite confusing. Every one tells you something else, that’s why I like to stick with someone that has had nothing but success for many years. |

Ah, but Artie, what if someone else, with contrasting methods has equal success? Then what do you do?

Nicole, I take Ruby out also, when possible, but sometimes it gets really hard, she is rapped around her branch under the uv all day, just loves it and really gets herself tangled up when I try to get her out. But when I succeed, she stays on the cloth line or lemon tree (no thorns) all day too if I let her. |

Same Artie, Tiff will stay put for hours on end and lap it up, but try and put any of the other girls in the sun and they wriggle around and are off and away before you can turn around...
