I would like to know the long story? I've used black lights before with zero I'll effect. Like The Serpent Merchant said along with various resources on the internet black lights only give out uva. In that case people who use zoomed florescents should also throw those away. I know they don't need the light as it has no benefits bc of them hiding most the time but for someone that wants night time viewing without a red bulb taking away humidity and can't afford expensive LEDs what would be wrong with a black light? Yes they make red florescent tubes along with cheap covers but what if you can't find those local?

Re: is a black light good for my ball

Re: is a black light good for my ball
Having something give off white light 24/7 is what stresses them out as it contains light that they are capable of seeing (orange [maybe], yellows, greens). It seems that snakes cannot detect reds and blues , so I would assume UV lights wouldn't as well since they are on the side of the spectrum that they cannot see.

To help explain what I just posted, search for the "electromagnetic spectrum".

Yes white lights can stress out when ran 24/7 but we are talking about blacklight which can not be seen by ball pythons and only emit UVA so where is the harm in that?

Re: is a black light good for my ball
Black lights can't be seen by ball pythons? Data source?
For heat, I would just use a CHE. No light, just nice and warm. If it's an issue of wanting to see your snake in the dark when it's out and about, I think someone here already mentioned using one of those exoterra moonlight bulbs. That said, something with a high white pattern might look crazy cool under a black light

BELs under a black light look awesome. I don't light my snakes at all but I have used a black light to see the "hidden" pattern. Here is an old thread with pictures that someone posted.
