A few months ago we got another snake and as she went into an old bearded dragon vivarium i did not need alot of new equipment. (already had a heat mat and thermostat) i was thinking i could put some sort of light in there to be able to see the snake at night but i am not sure which one to buy . |

If you are able to solder then a bag of led lights will cost a couple of £ for loads and a universal power supply to run them is about £4.
So for about £6 you could have about 50 led's running in various viv's.
now there's an idea. Any thoughts on waterproofing? Heat shrink and a little bit of aquatic silicon? |

Or you could try cold cathode tubes like what's used for pc modding.

look for aquarium light strips, added benefit of being waterproof, so if peed on there are no problems ;) |

LED lights are also very cheap to run, which is a bonus. |

I would go for red led's as they cant see the red spectrum and led's don't give off any heat. |
