Posted - 13/04/2012 : 11:52:39 I was just wondering what part of the vivarium you shine the light on, I have a heat mat at one end of the viv and have only just started using my lamp for a few hours each day. Do i shine the light on the cooler end without the heat mat or do I shine it on the side with the heat mat?
also, how many hours each day would you recommend having the heat lamp on?
Thanks guys!

It all depends one why she wants to use the light if its just to brighten it up in the day time then a blue light would be pointless an white would be needed, if its for night viewing then yes red or blue or even a dim white as end of the day if its in a room anyway the room light will be lighting it up slightly

If you have a heat matt a heat lamp isnt really needed. If you want to illuminate the viv then i recommend LED stips. Links below...
i agree with everything said above except for the options, white light is not the best idea as it might bother the snake, i use this and it work great. plus the blue is not as noticable to snake
