CHE is the way to go, as I have already told you! Why can't you use your current lamp? as long as the watage is within the lamps limits, you are good to go. The lamps you are using (that are pictured in your other post) are the same lamps I have been using for over a year without issue... with CHE's.
Sounds like you will try it and see for yourself anyway, but IMHO, the infared light stinks. it costs 10 bucks, and might last 2 months. When I first used one, like everyone else, I thought the red light looked cool. BUT then, a few days later my wife started complaining about it. She said it was giving her a headache. Then sure enough, it started to bother me too. It becomes VERY anoying!
Like I said in the other post, Balls don't need the bright day lights. In my opion it is better NOT to have them. They like dark places. Even if you have good hides, a bright light like that will still get too much light into the hides! you need no more then ambient lighting (in other words just the normal lighting in your house)
priorities... Keep in mind, it is first what works for the snake... then second what works for you. Not the other way around!
