If its not a problem for you to get those uv bulbs, by all means use them.

All I am saying is that they are not needed, and yes iv kept iguanas, in fact we get them all the time from neglectful keepers that brings them in terrible conditions. Those with sever spinal damages are euthanized and use as food for crocs or monitors and pythons.

So called experts will attribute MBD to the lack of UV’s however I know its all about heat and hydration, then its about food and yes they need protein a lot of it.

So when I hear such nonsense about them being exclusive vegetarians and needing the UV’s I really think it’s a step back for herpetoculture, these peoples simple don’t progress. You’d be amazed on how ignorant some of the top herper’s are!

But feel free to gobble anything you want, its your animal and your money.
