I totally agree with you Chris! UVB lighting won't hurt anything, even if it is proved to be just a hedge against trouble rather than an absolute necessity. I prefer to give my animals as much of their "natural" living condition as possible. If I can't house outdoors I will at least give them exposure to artificial sun. It probably affects emotional health and wellbeing even if the medical affects are not completely figured out. I don't breed, but spend a lot on UV lighting for large free range spaces. I don't begrudge it a bit and neither should a breeder.
