I was just curious why bearded dragons need the uvb and monitors dont? I use uvb on my bearded dragon but not on my ackies. I was just wondering why not monitors?

Thanks

"UVB bulbs" are not needed to keep dragons healthy either...

you first need to know why your using UV in the first place. if it is just cause so and so said so wow thats to bad. No matter what tool you use you should know what to use it for and how it works before testing it out. Or you may be trying to cut your plywood with a drill.

Do a search on UV it has been gone over many times. Also research and see why UV is said to be needed and what it is supposed to be doing. You'll soon find out the benefits from it can be acheived in other ways.
