I want to buy a globe to keep my hatchling extra ward on these cold winter nights.
I noticed that most people use red light bulbs.
is this because:
a)They are warmer?
b)The light won't keep snakes up at night?
c)some other reason.
I am trying to work out if I should buy a r4ed globe or just use a clear one. |

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Mar-06 Location: Central QLD | | | Correct me if I'm wrong...but most pythons (if not all) are nocturnal...so assuming that you have a regular aussie type python then you would expect it to be up at night. The reason red lights work is because apparently the pythons can't see the red light in the same way that they see daylight, so it wont bug them when they're crawling around at night, they wont think it's the middle of the day and so they wont stay "asleep" or in hiding when they'd normally be up and about.
I'm quite sure I don't know what you're referring to Rennie

|  | #44-9aCustom#GR-094 Subscriber | Join Date: Apr-06 Location: Out the Back of Queensland and a bit more Age: 99 | | | | i know your talking about pythons, however as of late ive started using a infra red globe in my Beardie tank and at night time when it switches over from bright normal light half of the beardies go to sleep on the cold side away from the light and the other half run around for a few hours and never really go to sleep till much later. Which would make me believe that my beardies are being negatively affected be the light as previously they would go to sleep within 5 minutes of the bright light going off at sundown with no infra red. would beardies and snakes have the same eyes for colours? Meaning infra red possibly affecting snakes?

|  | Sponsor | | | | | red blue same same just depends if you want your house to look like a brothel or a swimming pool
and by the way there is no proven evidance that clear bulbs have any affects on snakes wether on day or night.
i do still use infa red bulbs where night time heat is applied for any period of time though

| | Roadkill Subscriber | Join Date: Aug-05 Location: Western Sydney Age/Gender: 25 | | | | Mr-magic, i believe there is evidence to suggest having a 24 hour light period does affect the snakes. If memory serves me correctly there is a paper out there somewhere describing the affect it had on breeding bredli (no babies).

I am planning to keep him under a lamp at night and turn the light off during the day.
Will this harm him
