Hope you can help with this one. Do corns need to have UVB? Just curious what with them being active during the day. I don't need to pay out for the kit because I already have it.

Thanks in advance

No, no snakes need UV.

If you don't ask, how would you know?

Anyway, to further the answer, so snakes appear to even be adversely affected by UV, such as those with red eyes. Although I have not seen evidence, only hearsay.

And more sensitive snakes such as Royal Pythons can get stressed out by the constant flickering of a tube light.

I remember you saying about the flickering with the royals but wasn't sure if it applied to corns as well.
