Sure, lots of species of snakes bask in the sunshine, but is it to warm themselves or to receive vitamin d3? It is pretty much understood that captive snakes receive the necessary calcium through the whole body prey that is offered to them.
Tons of folks have been keeping and breeding snakes indoors for many, many years without special lighting, something lizard owners couldn't do. Obviously, the lighting plays a crucial role in the captive lizards' physiological well-being.
Again, it might be nice to have for snakes, but is it truly necessary? ----- Diego
