I wasn't looking for attitude about it. I just wanted some solid information that I could base my conclusions off of. I've always been told that whether or not it's essential is up for debate, but that it's always beneficial... at the very least, to produce a regular day/night cycle. Now, whether or not I can just use a regular bulb to achieve the same result is what it really comes down to.

UVB is expensive, and if it isn't necessary... I don't want to have to buy it every six or so months.

So, Tom, what do you do to create a day/night cycle? Or do you do that at all?

Just looking for some clear information from intelligent reptile people. :P
