UVB Lighting help needed

...At the very least, we need to know what species he is.

To the OP- I'd listen to Malum Argenteum's post (#5 above) & skip trying to provide UVB also. I've kept countless snakes for decades & a very high % have lived long & healthy lives. I do occasionally take them outside briefly (in my hands, only) when weather (temperatures) are favorable, to "cover all bases"- but truly, that's not very often. Depending on the species, many are nocturnal as BPs are, so we try to duplicate what they experience in the wild. I'd be more inclined to take diurnally-active snakes (such as the gopher & bull snakes I used to raise) outdoors for brief "sun" than BPs.

Oops, I got carried away there

And I'm going to continue without UVB lights; it's honestly such a huge relief, so thank you everyone for your help!

I think Naga will be very happy in his new digs.
