Yes, UV light hasn't helped any of my snakes (remember mine bask in full sunlight daily). As far as i'm aware nothing will cure a diamond with DPS, and i dont see how you could cure a snake with internal organ problems, brittle bones and flabby muscles. Prevention is better than cure.

Probably not. It would be showing the other symptoms of DPS. It was probably injured at some point.
