Question UV light feedback/ suggestions

Hi everyone!
I had a question regarding UV lighting for snakes.

So I don't own any snakes at this moment but I do plan to in the future.
In the meanwhile, I'm researching care requirements and improvements for my future animal.
I planned on heating my tank using Ceramic heat emitters, halogen lamps or other types of lamps that could provide enough heat to ensure correct temperatures for my animal. ( and I will use a thermostats/thermocontrollers to make sure the temperatures are correct)
While researching this I also found that UV light does improve the vitamin development in snakes.
My main question is would I need to select a UV lamp specifically for my species of snake? or could I add any low wattage UV lamp as long as I ensure the temperatures are correct? any other feedback on UV lighting for snakes is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for any replies!
