If BPs can't "see" red...
I have heard they can't see red and that is why you can put in a red viewing light and they have no idea. Question: What would housing one in a red tub do? I saw some for cheap at walmart, they had locking tops and everything. Just curious.

Re: If BPs can't "see" red...
i think theyd percive the red on the tub as black or grey depending on how much visible light there is ... but one concern that pops out at me is - would they be able to get any light at all in a solid colour tub ?... cuz they need more or less a 12 hour ambiant light schedual so they know when its daytime, so theyll sleep n whenn its night time.

Re: If BPs can't "see" red...
the tubs I saw were clear but had a red tint to them, not solid. So would it allow them to see prey better? Kinda like looking at something bright red on a black background.

They don't need any photo period what-soever.

Re: If BPs can't "see" red...
BPs may not `need`sunlight, but they do benefit from a day night cycle... that is part of a feedback loop that helps all animals regulate.
Just because I am not up all night, does not mean that the sun setting does not trigger several physical, psychological, and physiological processes that contribute to me actually deciding it is time to crawl into a bed so that I do not end up face down on my computer keypad.

Re: If BPs can't "see" red...
umm .. i believe they do... there is alot of debates whether they need UVA/B light ... but if they dont have a photo period they wont know when to rest n when to hunt ... case in point i had mine in my closet for awhile n left the doors shut on it for a few days when i was outta town ... when i came back she was lookin for lunch instead of a midnight snack

Can I see those debates?
In the wild, Bps spend 90% of their life in rodent holes and termite mounds, in darkness. I guess my snakes cycle is when I turn my beardies lights on in the morning and off at night, not that it helps the snakes any.

well 90% isnt 100% and studies show that pretty much any animal will benifit from some UVA/B rays because it causes the production of vitiman D3 which promotes calcium absorption but this subjectin its self is another topic... so start another thread ... i hate when my threads get hi-jack

I realized that happened after post 4, but oh well.
