Best lighting for a BRB

Hey guys! So I've just recently finished upgrading my BRB and BP tanks to Animal Plastics T3s, and was wondering what kind of lightning would be best to showcase my BRBs colors?

I figured I'd just be getting a regular LED strip light for my BP, but should I be looking into full spectrum for the BRB? What'll make him look the prettiest?

Prettiest would be full spectrum.

Happiest, however, would be nothing.

These snakes secretive and (primarily) nocturnal in nature, and bright light makes them nervous and prone to hiding. If you do get a light, I would urge you to use it sparingly, and watch your pet closely for its reaction.

Good luck either way!

Yeah I know they're crepuscular and nocturnal and would only be turning the light on a few minutes a day max. Still gonna let the natural light from the windows govern his day/night cycle.

Sounds like a solid plan. Good luck!
