Hi all, new to this site and enjoying all of the information.

I have a question about lighting for my ball pythons. We are currently using 100watt bulbs, and turn them off night. We have been using the under tank heating pads to supplement. That's what the previous owners did.

However, my bulbs are burning out faster than I can put them in, I don't know how to fix that. Also, a friend told me that I should get a different kind of bulb, maybe an infrared bulb.

For you experienced owners, what is your lighting schedule, and what bulbs have you found to be the best?

Thanks,

Catherine
