Anyone use basking lamps for their pythons?

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of collecting everything to fit out a new 4x2x2 enclosure for my yearling BHP (will upgrade size in a year or so and use this current tank to house a Woma in the future)

Just wondering if anyone uses the light emitting basking lamps for pythons. I only heat my snakes during daylight periods so night heat isn't necessary. I am planning to have a large piece of slate glued onto something to raise it up under the heat lamp so it acts as a good heat retainer and to give my BHP access.

I am thinking of the sort of sun glo bulbs etc as I figured it was more natural for the snake to associate heat with the sun or in this case light. Anyone else run like this?

Regards,
Michael

Yes, but it depends on the species and circumstances.
Diamonds kept indoors seem to appreciate, benefit and even I dare say, enjoy spotlights.
