ball python chasing laser light.

[nicktreb]

I tend to think they may be sensing the movement of the heat that the laser light is giving off. Of course this is depending on the assumption that red light is not visible or disturbing to them. Even with a red bulb they would pick up the obvious heat signature of it, but since it is stationary, I would think they wouldn't percieve it as a threat or potential prey like they would with the laser... Just my thoughts...

I don't think it gives off any heat, wouldn't that effect the temp reading??
