I'm just bored, so I figured I'd try a new experiment, hell, maybe even learn something.
So I got to researching on growing my own.
Now, here's my plan, tell me what you think.
I have a ball python, and I'm all about aesthetics, so you know her vivarium looks natural. And what's more natural than herb? Unlike other reptiles, she doesn't require extreme heat, but the daytime bulb is 60 watts and keeps the basking area at 80*F and the tank at an ambient 75-ish. My vision keeps the plant away from the hotter bulb. She does, however, have a Repti-Glo 10.0 UVA/UVB bulb, which I read is very good for budding but not so much for veg.
I'm a little bit skeptical of exposing my snake to a Metal halide light, seeing as how that may be hazardous to her.
Can I use my daytime light and UVA/UVB as the only bulbs?
