Lighting issue

Hey guys! i just recently bought a new 48x24x12 PVC Enclosure. I was wondering how i can get some lighting in there? ( Here's a link to a picture of my enclosure : http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...My-Ball-Python )

rope lighting

Where exactly can i buy them? How much?

Hi, me again! BPs don't really have a need for lighting inside the enclosure but if you really want to I think you might have to cut a hole in the top of the enclosure and cover it with a screen. You can put a dome light or florescent hood over the screen-covered hole. I think that 12" is a little too short to be putting any lights inside the enclosure for fear that the snake might get burned.

I'd be interested in hearing thoughts from other members too.

i dunno i never really priced the stuff, but ive seen them at walmart, mejier, menards, lowes, HD.
boaphile used to sell it as a option on some of their cages

Hey! I know all about snakes :) Used to work at a reptile store. They dont need lighting but it be nice to have to just get a better glimpse. I'm not to fond of cutting a hole in this Enclosure. Might aswell just leave it be.

If you run lights they will need to be enclosed so that the snake can not get to them. As for getting them in the enclosure Drill a small hole in it.. Cut the plug off the light. then run it from the inside out. Finally put a new plug end on the light. You can buy plug ends at homedepot for like 3 dollars....
