amazingly, sunlight coming through glass has no
benefits as far as UV for any animal. You must
provide UV complete lighting if it cannot get
to unfiltered sunlight directly.
You also need to be careful with windows because
a tank can quickly and easily overheat to a fatal
level with the sun shining into. Be careful in
the placement of your tank.
