    Um... I'm not using UV. And from a discussion with a qualified veterinarian, albino snakes are not negatively affected by the sun's rays. What I'm concerned about is whether or not the lack of a basking light through out the day section of their photoperiod will affect them, seeing as up until the temps went so high I had the light on most of the day.
