Hi Rob,

I find your observations interesting as I long ago gave up on UV after not seeing any differences at all in crocodilians raised with it as opposed to those raised without it. In any of the categories you mention. Literally no difference at all. We only briefly used it on smaller animals before moving them outdoors.

I have a few questions:

1. How many animals are you keeping there?

2. How large are they? Do they move to adult enclosures outdoors eventually?

3. What is the distance between the bulb and the animal?

4. Don't you keep gators and specs? Also a small salt? They are 3 of the least shy species particuarlly once acclimated.

Really like what you have done with that facility up there.
