Snakes, from what I understand do not synthesize through UV absorption like lizards and other herps. They have evolved to do with out it. So I don't know how it could benefit them. ??

I can say that in 30 years of keeping Boa, I have never offered any source of UV light. Even when i used lights back in the day for spot heat. Never had one get sick from it either.
