I guess the question is really why not use UV lighting? Of course cost shouldn't really be an issue because keeping animals is something that can be planned and budgeted. There are plenty of studies on humans and other mammals in regards to the benefits of UV lighting. It is not a far stretch to correlate this with reptiles. The main benefits not being a measureable physical attribute, but in behavior which is just as important. My experience as well has shown to have more active and alert animals with UV lighting.

Also a quick note on the different types of UV lighting; If you are the naysayer that just can't trust labels and think everyone is just out to sucker the buck out of you then use a UV meter and discover beyond the heresay what bulbs work and what bulbs don't.
