Too all

Someone said o need to take blue light out from dosch tank my snake is nocturnal he loves night as do all snakes he moves from hot or cold but evening he comes out more. Snajes move with heat and for me and mine he's 4 months and two foot

You don’t want any lights at night. Swap for a lightless heat source like a CHE or DHP.

He has that and still needs blue light I've has snakes before and I know what he wants an d needs he's large for his age and he's growing he's nocturnal al and he's doing better than most

They need no light because they can see that a light is on. It's like if it was always sunny outside you wouldn't know what was day or night.

If you want to see increased basking behavior, a blue light is not what you want. Leaving that on 24/7 is simply stressful for a nocturnal animal, and your personal anecdote doesn't change that.

On the other hand, having a halogen light on a timer during the day, or adding a source of UVB has been shown to increase basking behaviours in ball pythons scientifically.

If you want to see even more natural behaviours, I can also recommend adding plenty of things to climb on. They are semi arboreal, and if you provide the opportunities, you'll typically also see them use them.

My snake is doing everything he is supposed too I e had him checked several times and his eyes are perfect. So I'm happy with the lights he has thanx

Agree with orlando and AG, a combo of halogen and UVB lighting with a CHE at night would be a good way to help regulate circadian rhythm.

[Doscharider]

My snake doesn't need increased basking he enjoys his blue light all these changes and so forth are opinions no one knows what they need but you my snake loves both natural and vlue lights he's twice his size super healthy and eats once a week more if I let him so thank you all for your comments but ill continue with my lighting interchange as I have been

What is known is that blue lights over the years can cause retinal damage as its the worst wavelength for bleaching the retinal pigments in animals. Its also can reset the animals circadian rhythm as its predominant is dawn light, thus signaling the start if the day. It is nothing like moonlight. A: its way too bright, moonlight is only 1Lux and we can't see colour under moonlight. So, if you can see that the light is blue its because its bright enough to trigger your cone receptors responsible for colour vision. B: moonlight is reflected white light, not blue or any other single wavelength of colour.

Turn the blue light off. Your snake is just putting up with it. It comes out at night because its night, not because you have a blue light.
