yeh you dont need any light for a hatchy so just go heat mat.. my spotty is 1 year now and i only just moved him into an enclosure with only a heat lamp.. they dont need UV lights as they are a nocturnal species..

What were you told to get the different colour lights for? ie the red for ? and the blue for? If you're not going to use a heatmat or ceramic heat emitter i would recommend you use a purple night light( you may need 2) for your heat source then you need to provide the snake with light such as a flouro only to indicate the day cycle. This will need to be on a timer say on at 7am and of at 7 pm for example.

If you have your snake in a very well lit room or below a skylight during the day you may not need the flouro but if you dont have the enclosure vice versa.Must keep your enclosure lit during day and dark at night to simulate as best you can its natural habitat.
