    For the last time.


    PLEASE READ THE CARE SHEET ON THIS PAGE!


    Ball.Pythons.Do.Not.Need.Extra.Lighting.For.They.Are.Nocturnal.








    Edit: @mods, I have advised him to do this before in a friendly manner.

    it literally takes 5 minutes to read. you could have read half of it in time you posted this thread. you should not have a bp if you don't know how to care for it and/or too lazy to read how to. it seems you arent willing, hopefully you will catch on and no harm will come to this animal.

    Rocky, you've been refered to the care sheets several times in multiple threads, and this spoon feeding does get a little old.

    Your BPs are nocturnal, and have no real lighting requirements. A normal light cycle from the ambient light in your house will be plenty enough. The clear tubs let in plenty of light.

    I do have a question. I will be moving my bps into a room in the basement. Being that there is no windows should I turn the light on as to not screw up the day night cycle or is it not needed?
    Thanks

    Thanks

    Keeping them on a 12 on / 12 off cycle can be benificial.

    If one is to lazy to read a care sheet then how can you expect to have motivation to actually care for your snake?

    The sad thing is he's asking in other threads how to breed them and what morphs he could get out of an albino pairing... Oh well I'll do what I do when I see people buying BCIs in petco with a 10 gallon tank and heating lamps. Shut up and walk away.
