Daytime light broke

[Bogertophis]

I’ve been using infrared lights for over 25 years. There’s no proof any where that it effects them negatively in any way. My two 7 year old males are both over 1800 grams, and healthy as can be. Same goes for my two 5 year olds at 1400 to 1600 grams. I’ve also used them on multiple species of Boas. ✌️ Che’s are notorious for drying out enclosures much worse then bulbs.

I tend to agree, as I use black or red bulbs at night in the winter for some of my snakes (as supplemental heating- they ALL have UTH anyway), & if they didn't like that dim light, I don't think they'd keep basking & sleeping under them as they do, but they go out of their way & appear to enjoy them. My bulbs are 40-60 watts, & all are dimmed way down- they'd be way too hot otherwise.
