[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 1895963, member: 31715"] Honestly, if you cant state your opinion without also degrading other opinions, you aren't welcome here on this thread. I'm trying to be all inclusive and let everyone voice their opinions and concerns and thoughts, but I wont allow you to come into another thread and get it locked simply because you cant state your opinion without bashing others. 12 hour photoperiods are inadequate in what sense? We dont know how much uv they need. There has been no testing. They could get the d3 they need after 5 minutes of basking, or it could take 3 hours. WE DONT KNOW. What we do know as a fact is that in the past with weaker bulbs, even with what you consider to be short day night cycles, we didnt get dragons developing mbd. The question of a higher dose and shorter times or a lower dose for longer times is a good subject for discussion. In almost every case you compare it to, smaller doses are safer than larger doses of almost any comparison you can think of. Including humans and sunlight. What do you feel is wrong with them having to bask for longer periods? You stated they might get too warm before getting enough uv? But on the flipside what if with your setup, they get too much uv before getting warm enough? The point is you dont know either way, so no reason to act so harshly either way. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
