Hello all!

Currently we are heating our cage with a multi-purpose basking spot during the day and a nocturnal infrared heat lamp at night. The guy at the pet store says that we only needed the multi-purpose one. But having that light on 24/7 would stress him out. Its VERY bright.

My question is, is it best to keep switching between the two lights or just keep the red light on. The consensus I have seen on this site is that keeping one heat source on 24/7 is best for the snake. But on other sites and beginner python sheets its saying to switch out heat sources every 12 hours.
