i have some little file snake, Acrochordus granulatus. i've been keeping them in freshwater (tank half-filled) with some mangrove woods for hiding. i feed them feeder guppies. what i want to know is; do these snakes BASK? do i have to use UVB lamps? according to some sources, aquatic snakes (esp. Erpeton tentaculum) do not, or hardly, bask. please enlighten. thanks.

File snakes are nocturnal. UVB lamps would not be necessary.
