I want to buy some lights for my snake at night whats better a inferred or the moon light?? please reply quick!:main_thumbsdown:

Depends on your reason for getting the lights. Is it to see the snake, for heat, or for some other reason?

Russ this is not the owner of the boa because that is my brother and he is not here at the moment.I believe it is heat at night because we live in the same room(basement) and,here in Chicago it is starting to get colder so he wants another type of heat for night besides the UTH.

I use black heat lights when necessary, red is also fine. I'm not sure if the blue moon lights bother them, never tried it. You could also use a ceramic heat emitter.

i like the ceramic heat emitters but they are kinda expensive (or used to be)

RBI Radiant heat panels are sweet. They heat not just the surface of the herp but it penetrates through to the deep muscle tissue more effectively than bulbs or heat tape. Just my opinion...

 

[Tony C]

I've heard good things about those, I'll be using them when I build my big cages.

For heat I would reccoment the radiant heat panels as well. If finances don't allow you to go that route, Ceramic heat emitters are a less expensive alternative that will work well.
