Actually it shouldn't. BP's are nocturnal so if you're going to run a overhead lamp then use a ceramic heat emitter which emits no light at all.

Ok but they can't see a red light anyway.. They can see blue, white, and other outputs of light but snakes cannot see black and red lights.

There is debate about lights in general but no one knows if red lights bother them. They have heat pits and a heat emitter and a red nocturnal bulb are both going to be visible because they "see" any form of heat. Red nocturnal bulbs do not bother snakes at night like a white or blue day time bulb..
