I have thought of that before but they dont just hide in a dark hide all day in the wild they do bask as well even if they dont move around.I think the main reason they move about at night is in search of food and have read that a coastal can wait for up to 10 days or more on a scent trail.So I think to some extent they do need uv and Diamonds are nocturnal too.Diamonds need it for calcium so why wouldnt a coastal? The black headed python sticks it head out of its hide to soak up rays from the sun.
This is part of the reason I am asking for more information on this. It is confusing
