I guess you didn't understand my post, what I'm wondering is my room is dark at night obviously. And seeing as ball pythons are nocturnal and I've heard from many people that they become much more active at night. I would like to be able to view my snake at night without disturbing her. (temps, light) And she will be housed in a tub/bin so I'm not sure if this is possible but like I said I just thought I would ask. And about the handling I'm in no way scared of snakes my question was is there better times to handle your snakes and how much handling is too much.
