i used to use red bulbs all the time for both my boas and a CHE for my BP but i dropped a bulb and busted it so i got a 2nd CHE for the other boa. the CHE made it alittle hotter in his cage so now he's alittle bit more active.

to actually answer your question, i believe i have used a red bulb for my bp also.

I don't. I prefer the ceramics, they cost more, but I have only had to buy one in the past 1.4 years..and it still works

I use red bulbs for all 3 of my snakes 24/7... Seems to work well but it dries the air.

i use a ceramic aswell just wanted to check the red light is fine for them and dont stress them out plus it looks cool at night and i can always see them without disturbing them with a bright white light . thanks for your comments

For my boa I have a black light that's on 24/7. My BP has a light during the day and a heat pad at night

i have a timer switch my ceramic heaters off at 9pm then back on again at 7am

it gives my carpets a nice night time temperature drop

the heat held in my house means their night time temps are around 60f to 70f winter,summer temps 70f to 80f

cheers shaun
