Hello!

We have an IP camera focused on Leo’s enclosure so we can check in on him while away and get a glimpse into his activity at night. Being our 1st snake it’s been fascinating to watch. But I’ve been curious about something hoping someone here could help with.

The camera is equipped with IR LEDs for night vision which really works out great for our purposes however I was wondering if these infrared LED’s could have any negative effects on the snake? I know they prefer darkness and I’m trying to make his habitat as stress free as possible by using natural light for the most part. So if these are detrimental to the snake’s comfort I’ll discontinue their use.

I did a quick google search and was unable to find much info, I did find an older thread here but no answer was provided, so I’m wondering if anyone here had any insight on this?

Thanks!
