I use a Euro Rep red night bulb for heating, it keeps her warm and provides enough light to see her by. Well, to be strictly accurate it provides enough light to see her nose poking out of her log.

sorry if i am repeating stuff but i want to make sure i have this 100% straight.
am i right in saying that if a royal does NOT need any extra lighting (for example uv etc). lighting is purely so the keeper can see in the viv. is that right?

Yes, in fact there are some that believe that UV can be harmful to them.
