What humidity do ball pythons need?

Ball pythons require 60-80% humidity. Below 50% causes shedding problems; above 80% leads to respiratory infections. Maintain higher humidity (70-80%) during shedding periods.

Do all reptiles need UVB lighting?

Diurnal reptiles (bearded dragons, tortoises, chameleons) require UVB for vitamin D3 synthesis. Nocturnal species (leopard geckos, ball pythons) need less UVB but benefit from low-level exposure.
