| Abstract |
|
Light is all around us, and all around reptiles and amphibians in their natural environment. Consequently, most people add light of some form to their enclosure. This article focuses on the use of artificial light within an enclosure. Obviously, the best form of lighting is the type found in an animal’s natural environment - unfiltered sunlight. Where possible, and in circumstances that allow it, this is the type of lighting that should be used for an enclosure (or “aviary”). However, in a large number of circumstances this is impossible or impractical, and so some form of artificial lighting must be used.
