light for snakes

[snakeitup]

hello all,
i have heard that it is best to keep you snakes in dull light such as red light when it is "night time" and you shouldnt use bright lights as it doesnt give a daytime/night time situation. However i have also heard that it doesnt matter and you can use bright light any time, day or night.
any ideas or opinions?
cheers

bright light = day
dark light = night

they will adjust, but bright lights all the time can cause them to be awake for longer periods, saw this in our diamond python when we used a party bulb one time, never again........all our snakes get ceramic bulbs, exception of the diamonds.
