*** Lights in Tank ***

[rmune0750]

what lights does every1 have over their tank??

i have a 60 watt light for the daytime, the UV light, and 2 red 40 watt lights for nighttime...

I don't have any lights for mine. And BP's don't need UV light. How are all those lights working for you? They tend to suck up the humidity, but can work if you dont mind the extra effort.

Just to clarify you mean lights outside your tank not actually in it right?

[daniel1983]

No lights for heat here either.

Just checking, are your lights actually INSIDE the tank?

[rmune0750]

yes, inside

[JLC]

yes, inside

Lights INSIDE the tank are very, very dangerous for your snake! You really need to get those out immediately. What kind of set-up do you have that you can have so many lights INSIDE the tank???

[rmune0750]

the pet store said i had to have the lights in it...wtf?!?!?

[daniel1983]

is there anything between the bulb and your snake?

Describe you setup.

[Holbeird]

Lights should not be IN your tank...they shoudl be ON your tank, resting on top of the cage lid (assuming you have a wire-mesh lid to your cage) There should NEVER be any light INSIDE your tank where the snake can touch it!

yeah, im sorry, i messed up, the lights r ON TOP of the snake tank on top of the tank cover....thats what i mean
