But it is important. I have lights that nocturnal snakes can't see at all. Some of them look RED to you and I. Some look similar to "black" light. The important part would be that it produces a visual cue that would not occur other than feeding time, and this can be produced by a light source which is only turned on at feeding time; true. But the color (actual wavelength) and even the specific balance of different colors, and intesity of the light could look very different to them as it does to you and me; also important. Also, two bulbs that look the same to you and I may look totally different to the snakes, or they may not see it as much of a change from the norm.

I was only suggesting that if there is a different visual cue under their normal lighting, such as a specific movement that perhaps it would remove variables that exist when using a light bulb. I understand that the bulb would be easier to implement. Just make sure that it is a very special bulb of a narrow wavelength and that it is within their visual range.(within the colors of their "rainbow" which is different than ours). Also make sure you have extras of the same bulb.


I really like your idea. I would really love to hear the results. I think your time frame is short, but I would love it for you to prove me wrong. Either way, it will be fun to hear your observations because you are so perceptive when it comes to these wonderful snakes.
