Should you leave the light on when your leopard gecko is shedding?

You can leave a leopard geckos light on all of the time but you should probably turn it off when it gets dark and then turn it on again in the morning. Like humans leopard geckos need time to cool off. Some things you can give them to cool off during the day are a hollow half log to provide shade, a fish bowl turned on its side filled with reptile moss heavily misted with water, and a shallow dish filled with clean, cold water. You can find most of those things at any pet store. Another benefit of turning off your geckos light is that it saves energy!
