I guess this is a fairly dumb question but I've been looking at turning my other room into my snake room.... only thing is there are no windows in the room. I've been doing to research and trying to find an answer. Question is I know they are nocturnal but does that mean they will need light for half the day? All I've seen is that providing too much light is bad... but what about minimal light? Do they need 12 hrs of light to maintain an internal clock type thing? Right now he's in a tub with 2 hides, t-stat, flexwatt heating half, everything is good so far. Just wasn't 100% sure on the light situation.
