i recently bought a ZooMed UV Light that emits both UVA and UVB for my children's python. My mate then started having a go at me, saying that the snake is nocturnal, therefore it doesn't need UV light. I'm just wondering if this is true, and if i've gone and wasted my money.
cheers |

i think ive got the same light in my enclosure and I do use it just cos i was sold it when i bought my enclosure, but its up to you. i havent made my mind up yet but i figure why not, if you've got the globe then use it. i think with the exception of diamonds who do ned UVB, most all pythons will do fine without. im still a beginer though so shop around! haha |
