according to the BBC 5 day forecast sunrise is at 8.13am and sunset is 4.16pm tomorrow. either side of those times it will be starting to get light/dark. if you're brumating an adult i'd probably go for as close to what's happening in the real world as possible. youngsters that you don't want to brumate i'd probably have daytime from 7am to 6 or 7pm, with a very slow increase of daylight hours until you match what's happening in the really real world.
just a thought though, more ideas anyone? |

Hi Sirio, what size is your viv, 150W is quite large, I have 75W infra red bulbs in my 3' x 2' vivs. I don't have a Moon Glo bulb, I just leave the red bulb on.
I have my moist hides at the cool end. |
