YES this is 100% correct. YES the see heat what I have been saying all along you are the one whom says they cannot see red, not I.!!! I said they cannot see blues. The article from the journal of neuroscience agrees with this.
"In the rod-dominated retina of P. regius, where all cones are scarce, there are so few ultraviolet-sensitive photoreceptors that it is unreasonable to think that they could do much towards creating any kind of detailed visual picture (assuming that there is no undetected region of the retina that is especially rich in ultraviolet-sensitive cones). They could, however, still serve to alert the snake to anything that creates contrast in its environment by either reflecting or absorbing ultraviolet light."
The EYE responds strongly to 550nm (that is yellow green) and the 700nm range (that is red). They see two colours red and yellow and by default orange (red and yellow combined) the article I posted is clear. Very poor vision in the blue end of the spectrum.
Human vision extends to 750nm Infrared is 750+ Just outside our vision. When you turn a stove on HI the metal element glows? YES! RED. Why? not because it has a light bulb in the metal because it is emitting IR radiation from the 700nm-1000nm range Pythons see with their eyes this red light and they see with the heat pits this red light. If you touch the cherry RED element you will be burned as it is HOT. RED light and IR are the difference between 750nm to 751nm. Light and heat are not separate things they are all EM radiation. I don't need to prove this is is basic school physics. Nothing more. If you agree that the heat pits 'see' and you agree they hunt by IR radiation how do you fail to understand they see red?
The same "except"?
I have black heat lamps. I have Halogen heat lamps, I have heat emitters. Also not sure why you write "sense" red, instead of "see" red.
I write sense because you seem to not seem understand see and feel.
You say my info is false, and try to impress us with rods and cones. You cannot prove snakes see red, no matter how many ways you try to say it. Comparing it to lasers is silly.
First, laser = Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser light is very pointed concentrated light Often red but sometimes green and blue. Red lasers are 635nm so that is in the visual range of pythons so yes they see the laser light. Lasers are similar in using a magnifying glass to condense the light of the sun to a small point. It doesn't magically not become light. It stays light very concentrated and controlled but still just light on the EM spectrum.
I don't have to prove pythons see red, YOU DID!!!! The article you posted does prove that. You are saying the article YOU posted is wrong!!!! YOU are saying they cannot see red and infrared. I am saying they can see Red and IR the article I posted describes they can with both eyes using the rods and cones and that the heat pits can also see the red end of the spectrum.
I can tell you for sure, how may animals behave under red lights and white, and it is vastly different. Have fun with your rods and cones.
I never said they don't behave differently I said that pythons don't see blue. You said they don't see red and then in every post you have made contradicted this simple fact. Maybe this will help?
Pythons using their eyes see between 550nm-750nm the heat pits extend this to 1000nm (far IR) so they see between 550-1000nm. Yellow green to far IR. I am suggesting bulbs between 450nm ranges they don't see this wavelength well.

Sorry Rob, I have a hard time with the statements that are 100% wrong it makes us all look bad.
