Containers indoors?

I have a back room that stays real warm all year,80 degrees(Snake room)and has no Low e windows,very good light all day long.Would it be possible to do some containers in there without suplimental lighting?

I know that most windows cut out certain frequencies of light. I have no idea how that would affect them as I am a new container gardener myself. Someone with more experience should be along to help you.

You say it is a "snake" room? Do you have special UVA/UVB lighting? That might help considerably. We have birds and use full spectrum lights; they plants love it! :D

The snakes I keep do not require Uva or Uvb lighting,just heat.What the heck,Plants are cheap I'll just give it a try!

That's what I would do. I have neighbors with sun rooms and their plants are beautiful. Have fun!
