Juvenile nile

I have gotten a juvenile nile monitor in trade for my boa. The cage i have set up for him is a 4 foot all around box ( 4ft high, 4ft wide, 4ft tall ) I have put about 2 ft of dirt in the entire thing which is alot of dirt i would have to say. I have a wood platform that is level with the dirt but under the platform is like a cave. Whom i got the nile from said he only eats live hoppers but im going to be varying his diet alot. I plan to have mealworms for him all the time and will give him frozen thawed hoppers twice a week. I also can get but am posting to check if its ok i can get crawfish, shiners (any size), and nightcrawlers. I work at a fishing store that carry's these and whosales them. Another question i needed to know is if i need a uvb light? I dont have one right now but can get it if needed.

i couldnt find any info on that link...I know the basics just wasnt sure about uvb because i have heard people say monitors dont need it though some say they do i look at it as it cant hurt him anyways so why not use it.
