Do python need lighting?
I know that you don't need if you viv is facing a window during daylight hours but as it's gets so dark now and the light in room seems to go so quickly would it be advisable to have daylight/moon bulb's installed?

from what I have read and been told, light of any type is of no benefit to royals.
