It was a common misconception to believe that diamonds needed uvb for health benefits, but itwas actually due to other husbandry mistakes(keeping them too hot). He says he hasn't kept any morelia under uvb and they are all healthy.
No, it wasn't a misconception. Simply because the health benefits aren't visible doesn't mean they aren't real.
