These are the most reoccurring issues on this forum, seems like all posts are in some way related to them?
What I find funny is these posts always end up in conflict or as dead ends, why?
Really I need to understand why the peoples asking these questions fail to understand something so simple?

Let me put in down in simple words, no if or buts!

Facts; heat allows the absorption of calcium!
Facts; UV bulbs other then providing some heat, have nothing to do with UV absorption!
Facts; chlorinated water not only kills your lizards but leads to osteoporosis by preventing calcium absorption!
Facts; a combination or wormers and chlorinated water is a sure way to kill your lizards!
Facts; well heated and fed lizards have almost never any problems with parasites.
Facts; if your to darn lazy to research any of the above, don�t keep live animals!
Tips; always use ceramic, stainless, glass water bowls, plastic is a magnet for toxins!
Tips; plastic is ok as feed bowls!
Tips; keep a filtered water tank for your water needs!
Tips; ask more questions, that�s what these boards are meant for!
Tips; dont listen to me, do your own reserch!
