[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 1894678, member: 31715"] All and all, we aren't going to get a scientific answer to this question until someone with enough time, money, and resources are willing to do it. I might have one or two of those, but you need all three lol. So, the topic is up for discussion. As it stands now, I agree with Frances that we don't need to provide higher UVI's than 3 to our dragons. It would be different if they were only being exposed to UVB for a few hours a day, but 12-14 hours of a constant exposure (no matter the gradient) is too much IMO. I do realize the dragon can pick the spot it wants to bask in, and it could pick a spot further from the bulb to be exposed to less, but how we setup our tanks and how we recommend tanks to be setup, the basking spot is usually the highest UVI exposure spot too. Forcing the dragon to choose the proper temperature it desires, or the UVI it would like. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
