Actually, some snakes DO do better with UVB lights. Boa constrictors do better, many arboreal species do better, and it's necessary for grass snakes and other non-burrowing species that also eat insects. Sure, boas and many arboreal snakes will do just fine without UVB, but they really do better when they have some.
Colubrids are not one of the genus that shows a noticeable difference with UVB, though.
