Ball pythons are nocturnal animals. They hardly see actual sunlight. And snakes don't need UV light to be healthy. That's more of a lizard thing. So remember that when someone tells you otherwise.
I once had an unqualified vet tell me that the only treatment my sick rescue snake(respiratory infection)needed to heal was UV light. My jaw dropped. I could not believe that was his diagnosis. I never went back to that guy. He clearly didn't know what he was talking about.
