Rick,
I have only owned Uros for 4 months now, so the info I give you will be based on my experiences with Bearded Dragons and Vield Chams. I have never used UVB producing bulbs, but my animals eat, grow, and reproduce fine. I have friends that are large BD producers(3-4 k/year). They used UVB on a few breeders and have come to the conclusion that any color differences are due to the spectrum of the light and not due to the UVB. In other words, it is an illusion. The T-rex supps. contain plant extracts that Allen Repashy and Phillipe de vosjoli believe may enhance colors in reptiles.(from giantgeckos.com)
The fact is dietary supplementation of d3 works. It is then your choice if you want to add a UVB bulb to your set-up. I have always chosen not too.
good luck
