If you are using lights cause of plants you should use them according to your day night cycle. Set up a timer if you must so they go on at the crack of dawn and off when the sun goes down. As far as eggs, if you could, explain some characteristics of what makes you think it is gravid or show pics.:D

Good luck,

Jay

You do not need to have lights on for your newts. Eggs don't need lights either.

Sorry I thought you ment for the terrarium it self, as plants will need light if you are useing live ones but the newts do not.
If you are useing live plants then I suggest useing some lights on a typical day night cycle as you probably know this.

Gravid means pregnant basicaly or egg bound/carrying eggs, and no, the eggs need no light.
