I've heard about people who have raised their dragons without UV lights and just dusting the food items with calcium w/ D3. But i would suggest that you get a UV light, that way you don't have to worry at all if she is gettin the right amount of calcium, also their colours seem to look better when they have UV light. Hope this helps!

There have been few people have not used it, but I would reccomend it. It is expensive, but it will last a while,a dn it's worth it for your dragon. If you don't want to pay for it, put your dragon(s) in a container that it can't get out of, without a top, and let it bask in the sun. Make sure there are shady spots too, in case it gets too hot. Do that about every other day for as long as you can. Because lighting can't replace natural sunlight.
