I'm sorry, but I have no idea. I would venture to guess that as long as the snake is not exposed to it for long periods of time, he should probably be OK. A little sunglight is not bad for them...I mean they are exposed to sunlight in the wild, right? :shrugs:

as long as the snake isn't in the tanning bed.
If you are worried just drape a towel over the snake's tank while the bed is in use.

I would think if there are hides inside your viv then the snake can just go and hide, UV rays can not go through solid matiral so the snake would be safe.

Is this the same snake that hasn't shed in 5 months?

I dont think that a small amout of UV light can damage Timmy, but it may be best just to drape a towel over the viv like Jimmy said. At least then you wont have to worry.
