Re: She's finally comfortable!

Nice enclosure - top work. I'd stick with the 10% bulb and supplement with a 6500i daylight led. Think that would really bring the colours out.

My male is under two 5.0 bulbs and has actually been out more than her and she was always the more bold of the pair when they were in equal cages. (both also 5.0 bulbs) so I'm going to lower the intensity. It's a win win for both being able to see her more and it makes her look better. I think that potentially that the 5.0 imitates the color of spring/early summer light and the 10.0 tells her to go hide because it looks more like summer. Texas snakes will become nocturnal as the temp rises so maybe their activity is tied equally to both temp and light temperature.
