many thanks for this - will def read them! my logic for lighting flows from my experiences with arachnids - what i noticed is that keepers which had their collection in total darkness or dimly/barely lit rooms were reporting behaviors that i never experienced which seemed to stem from the “perpetual night” of their care - going into snakes i assumed the same i.e. that the light would prompt them to engage in their daytime behavior and the darkness would prompt their normal, nocturnal behavior - perhaps i was wrong with this but that’s what i was thinking anyhow
