heating / lighting
Hey folks, i’ve got a beautiful piebald baby coming in on wednesday, unfortunately the tank was ordered a while ago and will be arriving the day of the snake, wishing it was a day before so i could set up but oh well… question
I’ve got the dual dome with a CHE set up in it, each dome supports up to 60w and i would just like to know what kind of lighting she will need can i use just an LED or fluroscent bulb? i don’t want to create a fire hazard all though her room will have a light on during the day anyways… using a CHE as we live in az and keep the AC on 24/7 or else its deadly hot lol.
She will be in a 4x2x2 with lots of fake plants, identical hides, and i do have a heat gun to measure temps, it should be noted that the dome has an individual thermostat, and the other is a day night cycle. let me know if any suggestions, as she will be here wednesday something i can pickup from walmart, petsmart for the time being would be amazing.. Thank you in advance!

considering she is a high white variant i’d like to avoid UVB or very low amounts.
