i read that BP's can not hear like us, and my red heat bulb says invisible to reptiles.
i have on many situations found these to be false.
when i mist the bp's cage they hide from the sound of the mister bottle. not a single drop pf water would come within a foot of either snake, and the first squeaky squirt, both snakes will run and hide. they both hate wate misted on them, so whenever we mist teh cage they make a run for the hides. i took up to spraying only the back top of the glass and letting the water drip down, even then the snakes will hear the water bottle and hide, even though there is only water being sprayed directly on the glass no where near the snakes.
roswell seems to not only know when the heat lamp turns on and off, and adjusted his shceduale accordingly, he can see the "invisible" red light.
whenever i come home it when the heat lamps go on (heat pads on all day). roswell will always be waiting for me t o turn the lamp on. as soon as i do he looks straight at the buld, and flickers his tounge everywhere.
he always does this as soon as the bulb comes on. i have stood there, talked to him, tapped on the glass, and get no response, but the second the lamp comes on, he is aware, and getting in postion for basking. i do not think it is the heat he sences, cause within a split second isnt enough time for the lamp to heat p enough to get his attention. i can only assume he can see the light.
