Howdy everyone, I'm wanting to get the little man some lighting in his viv so we can see him better. Been looking into and the LED strips seem to be the way to go. My question is, which colour is best? The place I've found do white, red, green, amber, and blue. I don't want to stress him out too much as he's still quite shy and i'm a bit worried that too much light will cause him to hide even more. So what does everyone think?

I've had red, blue and green lighting in my viv's before, not LED but heat bulb, and they were fine :D white light tended to make them a bit more shy if that's any help.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3

Go with something that will compliment his colour!! I also read somewhere that white lights can stress a snake and the coloured ones are best.

Jungle green for day and moonlight blue for night. Just my personal preferences.

I got a Lucky Reptile moon light, its lovely, it has 3 led little spots which light up the viv just enough to see the snake. Also you can buy more little light bits if you want - up to 6 will fit the one I got.
