Question About UVA and UVB

Hi I am new to cornsnakes and just got my baby (no name as of yet) only 2 days ago, shes two months old and adorable!! I live in south florida so even with the air conditioning the temp inside the house is about 76-78 degrees. right now i am only using an UTH no type of lamp. Is there any reason to get any sort of lamp? I want to do anything i can to keep my corn snake happy and healthy so any input and suggested brands would be great thanks!!
 
It is my understanding that corns (and other snakes) do not require sunlight related vitamins. No light is required.
There are a few reasons why you might want one:
It can help raise the temperature a few degrees, it can simulate a natural day cycle, and it can help you see the little guy better.
But if you don't need any of those things, you're fine without one.
