This is a good Question.
Who are we to determine why any animal does any thing. We are simply trying to Simulate Mother Nature, I also believe we are not providing the one thing that Mother Nature can.
In My Own Opion, we all try to keep temp's and humidity at a constance.
Where as Mother Nature they deal with the four seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter), When we Keep our reptiles we try to mantaine Summer conditions. If we try to Simulate all the seasons and their conditions reptiles may adopt better.
I hear most of you say 12 hours of light on and 12 hours off.
What would happen if we change one variable, what if we turned the lights on when the Earth's sun comes up, and turn off the light when the Sun goes down. Should we also provide other things which Mother Nature throws at us Like high wind, Heavy rain fall.
.
I also believe that snakes will get in a defensive mode by how we Smell or the Smell of surroundings area.
