May I ask, what is the idea of the red light? It doesn't exactly look like a "nightlight". Its a beautiful set up but the red takes away the beautiful colouring of your snake. Obviously if its necessary then it is, I just don't know what the purpose of the red light is.

You sure can, to the best of my knowledge the red bulbs (IR) can be used 24 hours a day without effecting photoperiod, in other words you can see your snake at night (when jungles are most active) and he/she doesn't know the lights are on.

Oh yes, and heating meant to say 24hour heat source.

Would the red light apply to other snakes that are most active at night or only jungles?

all snakes can see a white light and would (from what i've heard ) think it's daylight and constently thinking it's day (witch could stress them) a red light (or blue) they can not see (n ot as bright and things like that) and they would have heating at night and think it was night (and to stimulate day some poeple have a white light for day also)

this one has a red lamp and a poxie spiderman ( thanks Poss )

Use plenty of branches all the way to the roof. i have seen set ups with hides like drawers in the roof coz jungles like to be up high. i have mine on the floor as yet. i use shoeboxes for hides

Both those enclosures look awesome, good work. unfortunatly you cant do quite so much with a desert species like Bredl's.
