    Glass enclosure question
    I have a 20L glass enclosure for my BP. Everything is great as far as temps and humidity. 83 warm side, 77 cool side ambient temp with a UTH and TSTAT set at 89.8. Humidity under heat lamp is 67 and cool side is 74.
    She is doing great and feeding on f/t weaner rats every 5 days. I have to make sure everything is quiet and lights in the room are off when feeding. I usually don't have any problems as long as I stick to this. Once she strikes I leave the room and come back later to make sure she ate. I do like to watch as she eats, but sometimes she seems hesitant if I'm around.
    I need someone who knows a lot about vision to help with this question. I have been thinking of putting mirror tint on the outside of the glass. This would make the inside appear that you are looking into a mirror and the outside just a light smoky tiny looking in.
    What would be your expert opinion? Do you see any trouble with what the snake may see?
    Thanks!!!

    Not really sure if that's even necessary. You have to remember that BPs mostly "see" with their heat pits which means they "see" the heat signature. If you're interested in this subject, there's a scientfic study pdf you can download:
