What's the best lighting for a corn snake?

Do they need the Uvb lights? Do they need a basking light?

no. no. one of the greatest things about a corn snake is that they don't require any special lighting. I keep a blacklight on mine 24/7 for heat.

For my 55 long I use a ceramic heat emitter.Has a 5 year warranty.For a 20 long you can get away with a soft white in either 40 to 60 watts.It depends on room temps.For my corns I use UTH.I have 2 amels who dont like or use either heat source.
