All my hatchies (tubs) get natural sun light on all sunny days (below 35 degrees) Most of my tanks get natural sunlight in the afternoons. (i open the windows) Now i don't want to start a fight/debate on how dragons need UV ect.... But I know many breeders that do not have any problems with deformities/disease Ant they use NO UV. I myself have grown up jacky dragons with no uv and have had no problems. The calcium poder i coat 4/5 feeds contains Viatamin D3 and calicum.

No worries most of my tanks are for practical purposes due to food hiding and animals sulking thus most are very boring..

what you don't realise is the incredible amount of effort you need to put in matching and perfecting the dosage of phosphorus:calcium3 via artificial supplementation. without proper examinations, x-rays and blood work i wouldn't boast 'no problems' in relation to Calcium density.

nice collection tho.

Do you keep your woodie farms heated? I am looking to start a small one soon.

Im sure there is nobody on the planet That has PERFECT phosphorus:calcium ratios. All my woodies are feed hi amounts of veggies so im sure that would help.

in winter i do and number increase rappidly. as not as many are being fed off. Woodies are the best thing i have done since getting reptiles they will save you sooo much money.

letting there bodies absorb D3 naturally via lights or the sun, rather then forcing high amounts of D3 is a way of letting them keep there intake perfect.

natural sun daily will help. i wouldn't rely souly on suppliments.

You are aware UV lights form NEC are 10 bucks each aye?

I have a small plastic tub about 30 x 20 x 20 and some egg cartons. Do I put the whole tub on a heat mat. i will be keeping them in the garage as my missus wont let me keep them in the house? Will the heat mat generate too much heat and become a fire hazard? Sorry about all the questions i haven't ever kept a reptile before.

as i said before MOST tanks get natural sun in the arvo and ALL my hatchies get real sun all day (unless cloudy, raining or too hot above 35 degrees. As well as getting 4/5 feeds with calcium feeds with added D3. Most of your UV lights today don't even come close to matching the amount of UV put out by the sun (that is recieved of ground level) (besides megaray) I once tried to use UV tubes on a few of my tanks (all blown now) except 1.) But then i read the box and it says that the thing is useless unless your reptile is within 3ocm or the thing! Thats fine for my aborial species but others In In 2 foot high tanks barely used them. Don't even get me started on the price of the things and that fact that your meant to change them every 6 months.

Hey mate that may be a bit small i would just go to bunnings and buy a 47L tub Or similar. And just use a heat mat that cover 1/3 of the bottom of the tub.

i don't really wanna freight UV tubes for obvious reasons.
