When I set my habitat up I had a day lamp (60 watt) and a half hood that kept two bulbs up to 25 watts apiece, I have 2 15 watt moon glow bulbs in it. Which that was great because we had got calci sand that glowed in the dark and I was able to see her when she was out at night, me being new to the herp world found out quick that this calci sand was not good and my AFT was not eating. So I took the sand out replaced it with reptile carpet and that evening she ate, now everyime I feed her she eats, thats good. Butttttttttttt, now that I have some vegitation in there and the carpet, at night when the moon lighting is on I can't see her, at all. So I went out and bought 2 red bulbs (15 watts) and now I can see without struggling and having flashbacks from my military days, feeling like I'm trying to ambush the enemy
even at night if I make one little move she sees me and takes off, I feel like I have to dawn my gilly suit and lay around her habitat like a sniper.
But now its better, I can see her, but my question after all that is, with the red light will she think it's day time and screw up the day and night cycle I have set for her? Which is better Red, Blue, Green?
I put 2 pics a day and a night, night might be alittle bright its still noon when I took the pic, but the blinds were pulled!

LOL you need some NVGs I don't think snakes can see the red light. I could be wrong. I know the blue's have no effects on amphibians while the reds and greens do and I think snakes are different. I don't keep snakes or I would help more but I am almost positive the reds have no effect on their photoperiod.

I don't have a snake, I have a African Fat -Tailed Gecko, and if you have some NVG's that I could borrow I would appricate. Some red or green star clusters might help too. :>P

HAHA I should learn to read a little better.

In that case your definitely alright, geckos can't see the red. I doubt they can't see it, but it's not as awakening as a regular bulb.

It's Ok, I'll find out tonight if she sees it or not, I put them in late last night and I didn't see her out, so I don't know, if not i'll need those goggles!!!!!!!!
