I'm not a big fan of using artificial lighting - my snakes get what comes in the window and if I'm in the snake room at night they get regular light from the ceiling lighting.

Way back when I first started keeping balls, lights were considered "essential" I used to use the night glow lights they were supposed to be able to see them the simulate moonlight or something to that effect. Living in So. Ca there is little use for heating during the day anyway. Now days I prefer to go with natural lighting and it seems to work fine.

But for what it's worth they spend most of their time in their hides anyway so it's doubtful that they would get much over exposure to any type of light. I've been known to be wrong tho.
