And the light bulb thing that guy said he took (Bulb Paint) and painted the 75 watt spot bulb red and using it 24,7 so i told him i didn't know if that would work. he said its been working for him but what i was wondering can you actually do that and it work with out your snake seeing the light in other words. since im not for sure how the red bulbs are actually made i thought that it might be a fire haz but he said hes been using it and it works i was just wanting your all info on that that way i can tell him .. he dont have internet and the local pet shop around here doesn't carry the red just the basking bulbs and black lights
Don't let one persons success lead you to think its correct. Now if 95% of people on here did it and thought it was a good idea, do it. But not if only one person does it and just thinks it works well cause his snake hasn't died, but light bulbs get to over 150 degrees and the paint will eventually start to smoke or melt off causing some pretty bad fumes to concentrate.
