No UVA-UVB is out and over for me, as Frank said HEAT is the key to metabolism!
However I agree with Jody about the husbandry part, but theirs more! Diets rich in beta carotene may be important in retaining these red-pink colors, as for Koi and zoo flamingos. Lately iv seen many species including ornate uromastyx and Saharan red uromastyx witch have shown this problem with LT captives and CBB, I wonder why this don’t happen to snakes such as kings-milks and corn?
Yellow, green, blue colors don’t seem to fade in most lizards (exception to day geckos) but orange, pink, red in monitors seem like the first colors to fade out.
Its not obligatory as iv seen WC jobiensis, doreanus adults with vivid colors even in species like dumeril’s.
