    Any Point in Using a Red Light Lamp?

    The reason I ask is because usually animals, such as rats, mice, and monkeys in a lab setting get red tape over glass panes of their door to stop light from entering that they can't see. So to them, it's dark.

    Ball pythons, from what I understood, cannot see color anyways. But if a lamp was in a certain color, would it seem like nighttime to them?

    I've seen people use red light lamps and blue light lamps, and just wondered if anyone had any success with the red ones as far as not disturbing normal sleep cycles.

    I have a red bulb on Mocha 24-7 to keep his ambient temp up in my ice cold apartment.

    Re: Any Point in Using a Red Light Lamp?

    I used a red lamp when I couldn't get my normal one and didn't make a difference to him the only plus for me personally was that he won't feed daytime or with any light so with the red I actually got to see him feed as he's never tong fed with me always a drop and leave BP. And where he's so active at night I got to see so much more of him but u do prefer the normal lamp so thinking of getting a daylight bulb so I have the best of both
