I am waiting on my Monster Cages custom cage to arrive. I am using a pro-products RHP for the heat source and thermostat so no additional heat is needed. I was wondering if i could place a flourescent bulb in the cage on a timer..also for those late night spot cleanings when my bp makes a mess.

I have never used flourescent bulbs and am not sure if they are safe to have in a cage or can they hurt the snake? Do they produce heat or just light? Any help would be awesome thanks.
