So it comes down to all the information I've been taught over the years is wrong...?

I just don't understand how so many reptile books, magazines, "experts"... how they could all be wrong about UVB. I'm not arguing that you don't properly care for your animals... just that it doesn't all fit into the same puzzle.

What constitutes proper husbandry then, when I'm told that - for example - turtles will develop shell deformities over time if not provided with UVB? I was taught that they need it to process calcium.

Now, here you are, saying that it can be detrimental?

I just don't understand how so much information could be so wrong.

Again, not trying to be argumentative... I just want to know why I'm being misguided...
