Does fluorescent lighting scare off boas?

[clone]

I've heard from others who use it in their cage say the boas go away from it and don't like it. Has anybody else had the same experience?

Re: Does fluorescent lighting scare off boas?

from the very beginning i wasn't using any light source in my boas cage. when i did decide to use light to show him off he would retreat in his hide as soon as it was turned on. i guess this probably varies from snake to snake however i would definitely say that my boa doesn't like a light source in his cage.

My Bci did the same thing when I had my light in, but when I took it out he was all over the place.
