You can see if the infra red's packed up, and change it - also people who have vivs in their bedrooms and prefer absolute darkness will prefer the ceramics - otherwise I don't know of any benefits either way to snakes.

I have done IR bulbs and the new setup in ceramics. The only reason I've switched is Duke doesn't like light so I wanted his setup dark on a night and then use a LED strip for any light requirements.

i use ceramics just because most of my snakes are in our bedroom, apart from the boa who is in the spare room. i have heard that ceramics can last for about 5yrs and for the day night cycle i just use household energy saving bulbs
