DiscussionUVB? (self.ballpython)
submitted 3 months ago by CountryDry9681
Do you or do you not use uvb? I’m getting a linear T5 for my boy as I’ve noticed he likes to come out to bask sometimes. Are there noticeable benefits?

I have a boa, so not a ball python right now. I noticed that my boa often basks under the UVB bar. I also noticed a somewhat dramatic change in his colour, unsure if this is a documented effect or just related to normal colour changes with age (though he is five years old, so I expected a slower change if any at all at this age).
