We recedntly found a little female beardie who hadn't had any UVB for 16 mo; she's just a bit bigger in body than our 7 mo male, Rubio:
Angel when we first got her:
2 weeks later, under a 160WPower Sun:
Her bones are still very soft. I've been given advice by Tracie on this site about liquid calcium, so she gets a measure of calcium every am before her
bath. We get her to be as active as possible. This is how important the right
UVB light can be to the formation of proper bone. Angel will always have Metabolic Bone Disease.
