California kingsnake and UV lighting.?

Question

i had my calking for a long time now and he is very healthy but i do have a question. i been using a light the emits UVA only. should i buy a light the emits both UVA and UVB?

Answer 1

they dont need it...i dont use any light (excpet for what is in the room during the day) on my kings at all i only use an undertank heater for them

Answer 2

full spectrum is not necessary for your kingsnake

they're nocturnal by nature and don't require special lighting- plus they get all nutrients from their food and don't require the special lighting like many tropical species of reptile. a photo period of light he gets from the daytime being brighter in his room/cage is sufficient.

Answer 3

no uvb is not neccesary if he doin' fine he doesn't need it.
