    Re: do albinos not like heat lamps?

    Ball pythons are nocturnal so they are going to stay hidden when any light is on (unless it's infrared cause from what I've been told they can't really pick up on that) your hot side temp is a bit too high though. My hot side is kept at about 88° though from all of my experience, other friends that keep BPs, and readings I've done, the hot side should stay between 88 and 92. There's no proof that albino BPs don't like light, and I doubt that they don't. It's probably a matter of too hot temperatures or possibly that he can't fit in his hot hide? I don't provide day night cycles for my snake but if you are using a bright white light for the day time, that could also be why he's staying on the cool side, he's nocturnal, that bright light means it's day time and it's time for him to sleep, and hide.
