Hi Asian,
For some one to say Reptile's don't need access to UV-A and UV-B, either does not care for their Reptile's or does not want to spend the extra money on UV Tubes.
Mate my Monitors have had no uv since they were born, if you think they are sick or sluggish,I dare you to put your hand in there,they will be on ya before the lid is open properly.
Hi Asian,
Do you no much about your Reptile's, and why its important to give them access to UV-A and UV-B.
UV-A is in the visible range, and is responsible for normal behaviors such as, feeding and diunal movement and mating.
UV-B is a non visible wavelength,and allows the synthesis of vitamin D3, which helps to process calcium and prevent metabolic bone disease.
For some one to say Reptile's don't need access to UV-A and UV-B, either does not care for their Reptile's or does not want to spend the extra money on UV Tubes.
lts important to provide access to a UV Tube for these reason's as mention above, and the best and cheapers UV Tube on the market is NEC T10 Standard Black Light.
l have always provided UV to my whole Reptile collection since 1990, because they should be offer the same as they get in the wild.
dragons
&
turtles do lol
i raised my turtles and dragons with no uv and the yanks have been doing it for years.
metabolic bone disease is a result from not having useable temps, not uv.
