That little fella, the hatchling, is now about three weeks old and has doubled in size. the lite I use on the baby is a 15watt incandesent bulb. The adults have a 65 watt incandesent bulb. So I say, those that "need" UV bulbs "must" be doing something wrong. Consider, I do nothing and it comes out right. I raised the adults from very small.

What your trying not to believe is, you don't need uv bulbs. You may, if you have marginal or poor husbandry. But if you support your capitives, you do not need such things. If you believe its needed, why do you ask such a question?

Again I repeat, I have nothing against UV bulbs, its just that I started breeding reptiles in 1962(lizards) and never had a need to use them. In fact, they did not have them back then. It appears only you newbies need them. In fact, there was no suppliments either. Heck, there was no incubators or snake cages. You had to make them.
