[QUOTE="ipreventdeath, post: 11176, member: 462"] I leave mine on 24/7. My house is climate controlled but I still take precautions with the heat lamp. It essentially raises the heat in the far side of the terrarium 1-2 degrees while raising the area directly under it 8-10 degrees with the height it is placed. Both of them also have a deep burrow to utilize in the cool side if they'd like to cool down further, as well as plant cover in the warm end for security while "basking". My MF rose Athena is constantly under the main area of the lamp lately, hopefully making them eggs :). They both were under it nearly all day for weeks when they were nearing molting as well as throughout the whole process. [/QUOTE]
