the UV tends to be a strip light/tube which will flicker and potentially stress your snake........ like lee said, it's best removed

Snakes don't need UV so just ditch it, also saves you having to buy new ones

0.1.0 Blotched king ( Jasmin)
1.1.0 Guyana red-tail boa (Hercules and Athena)
1.0.1 children (Alfie and BUMP)
