Re: Coloured night lights.

Good info!

I kind of hate red light and prefer blue, white, or even green. Anyone hear of a green heat light? XD

Re: Coloured night lights.

There's very little difference between a low power heat bulb and what they call "party lights." Green incandescent light bulbs, around 45 watts, are available in most large home improvement stores.

Re: Coloured night lights.

They definitely have green leds. Heck, they've got leds that change colors as you adjust a controller.

5M SMD RGB 5050 Waterproof LED Strip Light 300 44 Key Remote 12V Supply Power | eBay

These the kinds of lights you're talking about? I actually ordered a roll a few weeks ago for the snake I'm getting. I tested it with one of my sand boas, and it works great. The animal would probably appreciate it if you refrained from the "strobe" setting lol

I got the idea from this guy. Used for an aquarium so I'm 99.99% positive a humid snake cage wouldn't ruin it

Also, thanks so much Ziggy for doing that. I can admit where I'm wrong, and while night time viewing is not a concern for me (I get ten hours of sleep every night lol), it's definitely useful to know. Keep up the good work

Re: Coloured night lights.

That looks like the lights I'm talking about. I bought a roll myself, have been using a couple foot long section to provide light for my carpet pythons. Works great. I power mine using old cell phone chargers that I got at a thrift store.

Re: Coloured night lights.

Haha, yup. It hurts my eyes looking at it so I can't imagine how they would feel. One thing about those I meant to mention: they only work for an animal-only Enclosure. They simply don't produce the intense light that plants need to do their thing. It's great for my purposes though since I don't have any live plants in with my animals, just something I'd think to give a heads-up on.
