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!  |
With regard to how many generations no idea but if it happens once it will happen again ..... No ?
Like I said when the results come out from you knw where it may go some way to proving uv and it's worth .... Did you read the link I put up ?
Same is said of a lot of husbandry issues .... How much of everything is scientifically proved ?
I put my self in the firing line because I believe uv is if worth to our captives ... They are designed for it over millions of years why would it not be of benefit ?
I'm not saying its a miracle but it if it has one advantage then why deny them it ?
