For the most part, you look at any animal that’s in the wild and, of course, I’ve not yet seen a lizard or a turtle or a bird or a rhinoceros go to the health food store and order calcium.

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.
