I recently moved and am keeping my ball python rack in a large closet, as it is easy to maintain the heat and humidity in there. It is quiet and dark, and perfect temps, the only problem is the lack of light. I am worried that the snakes will suffer somehow. Especially I am worried that they will lose their vision or some other aspect of their health without natural light, or some kind of day/night light cycle. They are basically in the dark 99% of the time!
Solutions:
a) get some kind of lighting and put it on a timer, to replicate a daily light cycle.
b) keep the snakes in the bedroom so the window light gives them the light cycle they need. (It will be more difficult to keep temps right if I take them out of the closet.)
c) keep them in the dark, and hope they don't suffer.
What do you all think?
