Hello guys,
My female in quarantine seems to be doing fine, but I've noticed that she has been coming out less at night since I added a red bulb over her tub to raise her ambient temps. Her temps seem good (91 warm, 81 cool, ~77-79 ambient, humidity 60%) and she ate fine last Tuesday and just had a bowel movement that I cleaned up this morning, but I'm wondering if I should be seeing more activity and /or if the red bulb is disturbing her. Since I put the red bulb in (the day after she ate) I haven't seen her move outside of her hide at night at all. Because this is my first BP, I am not sure if that is normal behavior for them or if it is a change due to the light fixture.

Have nay of you that have used a red bulb for heat, noticed a change in the snake's behavior? I am wondering if she can, in fact, see the red light and is interpreting it as daylight.

If needed, I can switch out to a CHE. I went with the red bulb because this is a temporary quarantine setup and I didn't want to shell out the extra cash for a CHE if the cheaper red bulb would do. If you think her behavior is normal, then I will leave things as they are for now.

Thank you for your time and help!
