Yea, she was saying that UV light doesn't penetrate glass, but I don't know. My snake would always use to lay by the sun coming through the window and get some sun. Also, is Vitamin B in fish as I hear? That is probably a reason why he lived as long as he did. His diet was fish and occasionally green tree frogs.
