Its certainly not about UV, its simply about health. Healthy monitors exhibit their color potential. Unhealthy monitors do not. They lose color quickly under not so suitable conditions.

This picture shows some very very bright colors on some gouldi complex monitors, they are indeed raised inside with incandesent bulbs, with no added UV of any sort. Or any suppliment of any sort.

I suggest if you are having problems with color, then you may be missing something very important with their captive protocal, temps, security, diet, etc.

I can post many many pics of beautiful colorful captive raised monitors, that were not raised or kept with UV bulbs. I can do this with monitors from across the board of habitats and countries.

In a very strait forward way(normal for me) keep them like crap and they look like crap. Keep them well and they will indeed reflect that. Thanks for your consideration. FR
