Sigh... See, this is the frustrating thing about the reptile community, it's like everyone says something different about every little thing and it's impossible to tell which opinion is correct. Other places swear by UVB for all their reptiles no matter the species, others are specific with snakes in particular with giving some species UVB while others apparently don't need it, some say snakes generally benefit from UVB but don't necessarily need it but give their snakes the option anyway, and yet more still don't believe any snakes need UVB whatsoever and in fact say it can potentially do more harm than good.

I'm really trying to do the very best for my BP, and it's frustrating to have this feeling of not knowing if I've "perfected" his husbandry at this point or not. I've solved all other issues in the past like space, hides, substrate and humidity and he's as happy as could be and healthy as ever from what I can tell, but I still hear so much back and forth over this whole UVB thing that I'm constantly questioning myself if I've truly done enough by him...
