these help bulk the tank out and make the snake feel more secure
i use 2.0 UVB Natural Sunlight Bulbs with my Diamonds...
in the past ive used 2.0 uvb natural sunlight fluerescent " tubes " with bredl,i thought it improoved their colours..
i did an experiment,i put a pair of hatchling bredl in a tank WITH 2.0 natural sunlight uvb.....and i put a pair of hatchling bredl in a tank WITHOUT uvb...
imo the pair with 2.0 uvb had more enhanced looking colors
personally i would NOT use uvb above 2.0 for any type of carpet
uvb,the snake needs to be able to bask in the light,to get benifit from it
cheers shaun

I believe the Alice Springs Desert Park noticed the same thing from wild caught bredlis they had there...
They has them for years and were very bright and red when they first got them... as time passed they started to go dark and dull to a maroon/re-browm colour. During renovations they were given a new display enclosure, this time with metal-hilide lighting that emitted quantities of UV. They found that over a period of time the specimens started to get brightter again... not to the extent to what they were when they first came in but a definite difference.
