all of the Uro cages are on timers, so the lights do go out at night. on some monitor setups, lights are on 24/7...



our nighttime drops vary a bit, depending on where the cages are, as we are trying a couple of different spots right now. some cages drop to the low 70's, and others very high 70's.



a tangent note to UVB/calcium/supplementation (love those tangents!)...



certainly egg production is very calcium demanding. consider that with some of our monitor species, you have females producing 6-7 clutches of eggs a year (6-20 eggs per clutch), and this is year after year after year, and we have seen no calcium problems with them, even though we use no full spectrum lighting (or even any "reptile bulb" lighting at all.



our goal is definitely to breed the Uros, but it is also to breed them like we do the monitors, with multiple clutches a year. and no cooling period. i am quite anxious to see if this is possible...
