    Lighting help!
    I've read many different care sheets, and all are a bit different when it comes to lighting. First of all, I have a UTH, so do I need a lamp as well? And should I get a blue light for the night cycle? Some places say that if the snake has a good amount of natural light during the day, you don't need a lamp for the day cycle on all the time, if you have another heat source. So what kind of heating/lighting should I really get?

    As long as your UTH is doing its job and you are controlling the heat and it is on the money then you do not need a light to create a cycle. Remember they typically spend their days in a dark termite mound and hunt during the night. ;)

    A room with a window or a ceiling light on a 12 on/12 off timer will suffice.
