Here's a topic on this site that I actually know a few things about. I have been in the HVAC business for nearly 16 years and indoor air quality is a huge topic in my industry.
One thing to consider is the intensity and Quality of the bulb.
most bulbs on the market are not of the best quality.
With a high quality bulb you can expect no more then a year of effective bulb life, and also know that Most advertised results for UV treatment are done within 1" of the bulb. If you read that your light will kill 95% of a specific germ or mold spore, the results for particles that pass even two inches away could only have a 60% kill rate.
I highly recomend looking into a product made by RFG, called the gaurdian air. It can be ordered in direct plug in model and they work under an added priciple. WORKS. overnight you will be able to smell the differnce in your snake room.
And best of all, No Ozone and perfectly safe for the animals.
Mine is placed right over the roach colony.
Do some research and you'll want one too.
