No problem at all. Yes it most definitely a pet shop ploy. I recently sold a hatchling to a complete novice and he told me about the set up a pet shop informed him his snake would absolutely need to survive. Needless to say it included expensive UV lighting.

Sengir, yes I agree, UV does appear to enhance the colours of certain species and have heard similar things about Bredli. In a display cage in a living area a UV light could certainly make the snakes more attractive to look at.

i guess it is a bit of a petshop ploy. it does find it's way into a lot of documentation about keeping pythons unfortunately.

thanks again
