Heat mats work 24/7 and wont bother your corn.Bulbs get exensive over time.Black lights will work.

Do not use the black lights that you would use in nightclubs to make lint on t shirts glo. This will mess the snake up because it does something to there eyes. There is no need for snakes to have night light at all, unless it is for you to view them, in wich you can get a bulb that is specifically designed for that, and then it would be either purple or red.
