I am not positive for a corn but for my BP i use a black light to see him at night. I have read that it doesn't mess up their cycle.

Black lights and red lights are fine for nightime viewing, however I have heard that black lights seem to go over better with the animals than the red lights do...

I have heard/read just the opposite. Most of what I have read has said that the black lights are very bad for the snakes eyes, where as the red lights are just invisible to them. I am not stating that as fact, just as what I have read for a while. (various other forums, care sheets, that type of thing). Take it for what you think it is worth.

I second what Jason said, Blacklights are known to cause sight problems and do alot of damage to the reptiles eyes.

I used a redlight for a little while but I stopped because when I would go see the snakes in the middle of the night one of them (carpet python) would be staring at it... actually more like gazing at it. So I figured he must be able to see it... now I use what they call a moon glow light.... It's not as bright and it looks allot more natural and there's no more gazing. I don't know about the black lights though, I've never heard anything good or bad about them.
Speaking of the redlight... I tried using it for my breadies too and my male wouldn't sleep with it on... the female didn't seem to care much.... but the point is Im sure they see it, and if they don't see it they at least sence it.

pythons I think have heat sensing organs. I would imagine the carpet python was reacting to the heat not sight of the lamp. UV rays are not good for the eyes, but short periods of exposure are not too bad.

yes I know they can sense heat.... but he would actually just glare directly at the bulb non stop.... he doesn't do this with any of the other heat devices I've experimented with.... so it lead me to believe that he can either see it or it bothers him in some way or another.

The bulb I was talking about that I use now in all my tanks is called the "T-Rex Night Black Bulb"..... it's not a black light so it doesn't give off the UV rays. It's about 4 bucks.
