firstly, i've heard ppl use red bulbs instead of normal ones, just wondered if there are any benefits of this? secondly, if i was to build my own viv, could you fit hinged doors instead of sliding ones? i know sliding ones are more secure but i like the idea of hinges. just a couple of thoughts i had. thanks
I think that people use red lights because reptiles, snakes particularly I believe can't see the colour in their spectrum so it's a good light to use of a night time as they won't see it and it won't disturb their sleeping patterns.
Yep we use infared bulb on a stat for our boas, unlike the ceramic you can see if it blows and it lights up the viv well at night too. Ours has given us no problems really.
