why would they need calcium? I mean come on they're eating whole mice/rats! Including the bones! Now if these guys are digesting the bones, why would they need more calcium? (also are snakes able to ingest stuff through their skin? I havent heard of that before..)
Full spectrum lighting will do nothing more than make them prettier to the eye. you put a full spectrum (for a flourescent this is referred to as a spectrum 5 bulb), you will get all the colors a lot stronger than you will if you put a regular cool white flourescent (or the like.) I actually do have mine under full spectrum bulbs, because when I built my cages it only cost me $2/fixture more to get those with full spectrum bulbs. I notice a very little difference.
