[JandC_Reptiles]

They don't need any artificial UV lighting or natural UV from the sun as all the calciums they need are fed to them through the use of adult rodents (grown bones, nutrients etc). Taking them outside is totally up to the owner. However UV lighting either artificial or natural would benefit the snake but it is not completely necessary for their existance in captivity. My aniamls recieve no UV lighting artificial or natural & seem to be thriving.

Diamond Pythons are the exception & should recieve several hours a week of natural sunlight imo. Although it is not conclusive that lack of UV is related to DPS I feel it better to be safe than sorry.
