    Lighting??

    Hey guys,

    So when I bought my t8 cage I had them install white led bulbs for a day and night cycle. I currently have them on a timer from 8am to 8pm with no light at night. However, as I get more involved with this site, Im seeing that ball pythons don't need any light?? Should I continue using the leds for the day time for just cut them out and use the sunlight from the window?

    Thanks!

    I only use my LEDs when I can't see for inspections and clean ups.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    As long as there's some natural light in the room you're fine. They just need some sort of day/night cycle to regulate their behavior.
