Diamond info help

[lizzy_reptile]

I have read somewhere (sorry cant remember) that diamond pythons need UVB in there enclosures. Is this true?

I plan to make a double enclosure to house my MD and then get a diamond for the other bay. Just need to know if i need to put a uvb globe into one of them.

Enclosure will be :
900 high
450 wide
900 long

Most herp books say yes you do need UVB for Diamomds.
Some individuals say no, you dont need UVB.
Me.....I go better safe then sorry in this case and mine have a UVB T10 Flouro Blacklight.

Also heat would be the other crucial factor to watch with diamonds. They don't like it hot or humid. So try to keep the temps 26c at warm end with gradient down to18c
