UVB lighting mimics the sun's rays for indoor enclosures.? It provides essential things that enable creatures to grow and metabolize many vitamins and minerals.? Reptiles are one kind of pet that need these invisible rays, but do ALL reptiles need it?
Nocturnal reptiles and snakes typically don't "need" UVB rays to grow and thrive.? They naturally don't soak up as many rays in the wild as your daytime reptiles, therefore they seem to do just fine in captivity without the aid of a UVB bulb.
With this being said, it can still be beneficial for your nocturnal reptile or snake to get these rays, especially if they aren't feeling too well.? It also definitely doesn't hurt to provide UVB lighting to your reptile on a daily basis.? As long as the light isn't too close to your pet, there is no harm done.
