Well as someone who raises 9' plus alligators, I have to agree with Chris Dieter on this one. To my knowledge the leucistic and albino alligators require no UV/UVA/UVB rays at all. All reptiles love to bask but its just not possible with these sun sensitive mutations. Mine gets very limited sunshine and I seriously doubt the Lucy's ever get any real sun. They all seem to be doing well. Normal colored animals would need even less precautions.
Like what was said before, there is no doubt they like basking in the sun, but in my experience it has not been required for a healthy animal.
