[Temp-General] Does the light hurt his eyes?

[johnny]

I read something about lights hurting the eyes of and skin of albino boas. My snake is a T+ Nic, which I think is an albino gene... is that right? At least it looks like it could be. My question is will an incandescent bulb hurt his eyes or skin/scales.

I have made sure that he won't be burned buy direct contact with the light or surrounding structures though.

thanks y'all

Its not the regular light....Its the UV light....An albino is an albino....weather its human or not...just like its always a recessive gene weather human or not...the same side effects are present.

Some one told me that the Infrared might hurt their eyes. I dont know if any one has studied this but I was watching my albino at night and saw her kinda shake her head as if something was bothering her, I swaped the light for a che and I havent seen her do it again.
