    I would think a green light would be A) too bright and harsh of a light for night time, and B) not a natural light color as it were. The reason blue lights were made for night is because they simulate moonlight. Red lights cannot be seen by snakes, as far as I know, so those were OKed for night as well. This is what I have heard and read, though, so I am by no means an expert.

    IMHO, a green light would not be a good night choice. The best choice would be a midnight bulb (blue), or a low watt blacklight or a red bulb after that.
