Tony and myself use no UV lighting period. I keep monitors, and breed those darn annoying beardies that keep me busy with eggs constantly. Tony breeds, cornsnakes, kingsnakes, milksnakes, now argus monitors, hes has a list a mile long, he has several types of tegus from Argentine red, B&Ws , blues, Columbian B&Ws, goldens, hes had false monitor tegus, and many others, none have ever had UV lighting, Im sorry some had UV lighting with former owners, the animals were sick and dieing, unwanted, etc, after some time living and eating right they dont even look like the same creature, with no UV lights period, all indoors, many in his dark basement like mine. Its not about UV lights at all, its about some company making $24 a bulb on a $2 bulb and gettting you to buy them every 6 months or less, theres a sucker born every minute. Common sense, real UV lights have clear lenses, not frosted, plus ahve a do not look at warning. Heres a pic of a real UV bulb, with a real UV warning..
