It’s hard to see much with the red light washing everything out. What’s the purpose of the red?

Yes, the red lights. Animals don’t need them and will do more harm than good.

Too much red spectrum lighting can actually lead to less healthy plants as they stretch longer, have weaker and premature blooms. You can artificially use specific spectrums for growing… Other plants and getting flowers early in development cycles, but for terrariums and other general indoor plants using a specific spectrum is more harmful than beneficial.
Use a full spectrum LED light with a good amount of lumens, lux, or wattage (whatever the brand uses to estimate light production.) be aware that most all lights that are not a name brand will artificially indicate their numbers. “10000 lumen flash light!” While technically possible, from a $10 flashlight it is highly unlikely. Use your best judgement.
