Re: Need Information please
I've been following this thread with interest. This has been a widely debated topic here in Australia as well.
General consensus over here is that, while it doesn't harm them, UV is not essential for Aussie snakes. No, I don't have any papers or research to back that up, only anecdotal evidence from people that have been in the hobby for decades.
From my own experience, the only snake we ever offered UV to actually lightened in skin colour. Our bredli turned a very pale tan colour. Once again, only an anecdote.
