Well, true, ball pythons do not need light, and plants do, however, plants do not need white light, and neither do BPs.
My angle is to use reds and blues which most tropical plants use beneath canopies, and ball pythons are accustomed to better.
As BPs are mostly nocturnal animals, we alread have decided to use a shifted lighting schedule so that her plant lighting will occur when she is at "daytime" and her night time will be when we spend more time handling her.
