1. I don't light mine, he's in a plastic RUB inside a cardboard box so it's enclosed on all sides except the front (to make him feel more secure)
2. I use orchid bark as it's easy to use, readily available and you can create a slightly more humid environment. I also have a mist spray (99p from a garden centre) and mist the tub on average once a week.
3. length of viv + depth of viv = length of snake. Royals aren't very ative snakes and feel more secure in smaller vivs. |

| As with GP I use Orchid Bark with my Royal for slightly higher humidity, but Aspen with my Corn. I think hemp will be fine. |

| Because of the higher humidity required for Royals you really need something that will hold the moisture but not rot or go mouldy and smelly. I've not used hemp but it's worth a try, let us know if it works! |
