No. A heat lamp or undertank heater should suffice if the room the tank is in is below 65 degrees F. Uv lights are usually for more fragile reptiles, such as chameleons. The heat lamp(if that is what u choose to use) cannot be the only source of light for the snake, though. They will need other sources of light, which they should be exposed to already if they are played with regularly.
