Hey Guys,

I know I've asked this before but I seem to get conflicting answers and I'm not sure how to proceed. My reptile room is basically dark 24 hours a day unless I turn on the lights when I enter. There's a small 2 x 3 window which lets very minimal light in. Is it recommend to provide a light cycle for Boas and BPs? I was reading Russo's book and he mentions Boas could thrive in captive conditions with very little light but then goes on to say providing a proper light cycle is most important. My snakes are in their hide all day and come out at night (at least the BOA does) so what is the light actually doing if it's set up during the daytime?

Both my Boa and BP enclosures have built in LED lights which only get turned on during cleaning. Should I invest in a timer to cycle them on?

Thanks,

Chris
