Leucistic lighting?
So I'm considering getting the leucistic leopard gecko that we have at work but I was wondering if she needed special lighting. The main reason I ask is that when we have the normal white basking bulb on her during the day, she seems very lethargic and doesn't like to open her eyes. However if we put the same wattage red heat bulb and leave that on 24/7, she's much more active. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Leucistic lighting?
