I saw some nice 12 Volts Halogen with CRI of 100 (Color Rendering Index) which is the same as Day light.
they are for arts/painting

The halogens are from Home Depot and are 15watts. The cube is ~2'x2'x2'. The snakes have areas to hide from the light, but I'm now worried about the exposure. It heats the enclosure to about 85F during the day and my heat pad takes care of the evenings. I gotta tell you, it was the biggest mistake of my life to use halogens. I can't keep the humidity levels up past 50% and only until the sponge dries out. (1 day) Gotta mist every single day. I even have a live plant in there and the plant dries out just as quick. Next time....stick to florecents!
