Re: The UVB Varanid debate !
It should not take a rocket scientist to conclude that animals that have thrived for MILLIONS of years living in the tropics where the UV index is very high, leading a diurnal life and basking in a tropical sun shouldn't have a little UV in their lives.
What is the point in DENYING IT?? to save money?? if you can't afford a few extra dollars for some decent lighting, then Varanid keeping is not for you.....
We spend hundred upon hundreds, some of us thousands upon thousands of dollars in housing, feeding and maintaining these awesome animals, so a few more dollars for a metal halide lamp or two should in all reality be the least of your worries.
