A little more of what?
I'm somewhat skeptical of manmade sunshine. We already know that there are reports of issues with UVB bulbs affecting an animal's eyes. What we don't know are some of the internal affects. Does it damage the skin, internal organs, cause cancer, or any other long-term affects?
We simply do not know. The only research that I know of thus far has been done as efforst to prove it's benefits and/or need. No unbiased, all-objective research has been done, that I'm aware of.
Maybe take a look at the negative findings of tanning beds, sun lamps, for humans. I don't see anyone putting goggles on the monitors or bearded dragons when using UVB lighting. Nor any time limits for the use of the bulbs.
This is just merely my opinion, my beliefs; It's not the same as me telling you "not to use UVB."
The whole purpose of my first post in this thread was to state my beliefs but still be as FAIR as I can to both sides of the argument.
Take care!
