what i would do it take the light in hand and a ball in the other turn off all the lights and turn the red light on and point it at the ball. if its pupils get small then they can see the light if not then well they must not be able to see it

personally i cant think of why it would help the BP see its prey any better .. but you never know.. i suggest u test ur theroy by seeing if u get a better feeding response in a red tub from a white/clear tub ... u just mite be onto something here lol
Re: If BPs can't "see" red...
well I guess you can think of it this way...assuming a snake cannot see red and insted it sees black or grey, then it would think it was in a black or grey box. Correct? If you think in terms of "heat vision" then something that is "bright" or hot in the heat scale should also in theory stick out more. I guess the only case would be to switch one of mine from their normal, clear, tubs to a red tub and time the feeding response but that in itself is variable. Although I do get a great feeding response from feeding live. That would, again, be another variable, whether you get a better response from live, f/t, fresh killed.
