Does the bright white interior effect your snakes habits. they usually want a dark, secluded place to hide to feel secure. Anyone with one of these homemade white melamine racks please comment. thanx.

Know, my other question is..could you use a high heat black spray paint to paint the interior black, of course leaving plenty of time to let the paint air out. Or do you think using regular spray paint would be okay as well?

my idea is to use the melamine shelving and spray it black, except for the area where the flexwatt would go. I would mask it off with blue painters tape before spraying so that the flextwatt would never touch a sprayed area. then once I'm ready to put the flexwatt on the paint should be dry and aired out enough. think this is a good idea? any comments, suggestions, ideas, etc. is greatly appreciated. thanx.
