Hi, the question needs to be; how many generations of those V. prasinus were bred in "awful conditions", rather than they copulated and the keeper incubated some eggs once or twice, if that was the case?
The tests on white blood cell counts were done on animals known to be deficient in those respects, but it seems no details were given as to the conditions they were kept under? THAT`S what makes them in some ways "unreliable" when deciding whether UVB is necessary to keep them healthy, long lived and productive in captivity, the signs are it isn`t necessarily so....
You did go and say you were going to put yourself in the firing line!
