If you give us a bit more info size of royal, what size rub or Viv what and what your using for heat,
how long you had the royal they can take a little while to settle in and are rebound for being fussy eaters one of mine has only eaten three times in the last six months |

thanks for that,i also have a northern pine,albino king, and black brown king,but the royal is by far the most tactile...only got her by chance, went to get a couple of spiders (haver lots and lots of them) and i noticed she was in a terrible state, part shed and very very lethargic, so £200 later i own a royal python,she is not feeding either,but is a lot more perky, she had no thermostat and was very hot, have regulated that and sorted humidiy..have sorted daytime and moonlight,anything else i need to do ????? |

The usual opinion is no. Lizards may need UV light, snakes not. I've certainly never used it for my lot and they're fine.
And welcome to the forum.

as above no uv light is required. if you wish to give them a day night cycle just use an energy saving bulb, guarded. this is what i do |
