It was very difficult to see that picture, but the article highlighted how much more I need to lear. Do corns need heat lamps in vivs?

no, they need a heat source, the most appropriate for a corn is a heatmat covering about one third of the floor space. to prevent over heating any heat source should be run through a thermostat.
they don't need any sort of lighting and certainly nor UV, any lighting is purely for our benefit as owners

Too many stories about of snakes being kept in wrong (and therefore dangerous) set ups
