I've heard that monitors don't need UV since they eat whole food items. Why whould a Columbian B&W need UV since they have pretty much the same diet? I have UV lights if i need them, and i plan on using them while he is in his insect phase, but do I really need them when he is an adult? Also I've heard the B&W's don't usually eat fruit. Should I still offer it and at what age? I've been feeding him large dubai roaches, do i need to switch it up with crickets and mealwormd or are just the roaches good. And what is the best way to sex him. Im going to assume that like monitors they can't be probed.

Thanks Steven
