Hello Everyone,
I'm currently looking through all the equipment I might need to house a spotted python (its my first snake) and I came across the Exo Terra Reptile Vision Compact Fluorescent bulb.
The description talks about how humans see three spectrums, however reptiles can see an additional fourth. Other sources told me that it can be important to add this lighting in as the reptile may not perceive its environment properly which leads to stress (which leads to disease which leads to death), and temperamental issues within your reptile.
My questions are:
Is it a gimmick?
if not then;
Would it be beneficial to include in my setup?
This is my first reptile, I can't see whats legit and whats not.
Answers would be awesome
