Please do the same.

UVB is a precursor to vitamin D which can be provided in a vitamin supplement.

I find it humorous in that not very long ago this was not even a topic where chelonians were concerned.

UV lights might be a benefit... they probably are a benefit... but are they a necessity or requirement...? I don't think so considering that tortoises have been reared for well over a hundred years without the artificial lighting.

Oh... and please look at other resources outside of the TT. While his information is good it is by no means definitive.
