When it comes to lighting reptiles I don’t think there has ever been a bigger debate. Everyone says their product is the best. Ultraviolet light is something that is naturally emitted by the suns rays which strike the earth. Almost all reptile species; especially those that eat only insects and or greens in my experience obtain some benefit from absorbing Ultraviolet light if they are a daytime active reptile.

The term of herpetoculture was one that is associated with someone that we (the writers) have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is to say the least a very well known and respected man that has been responsible for many of the introductions of new reptile pet species to the United States and abroad.
