I don’t see a problem with keeping them on all the time. It helps them get the heat and UVB they need.

They need 10-12 hours of total darkness. Mine gets 12.

 Question about lights?

I agree with Blue eyes! It is more natural for them and they probably like to have it dark when they sleep.

 Question about lights?

Iguanas have a light sensing organ at the tops of thier heads, without a proper light/dark cycle it can effect thire health and mental wellbeing (much the same as keeping a person up with no sleep for many days on end) if he wants heat at night use a ceramic heat bulb that does not emit light.

I have a Nacturnal black light for Egore when I put her to bed. It emulates the moonlight. And she’s a healthy iguana I might add.
