I was always told that these guys don't need UV lighting. But then I also have heard people say they'd benefit from it as well. What are your guys/gals thoughts on this?
Todd at Lightyourreptiles (who really knows his stuff) said the bird bulb is perfect for them. I'm just curious what you all think. Are there any cons wit this? Can it hurt their eyes?

Thanks!
IMO as one with no real scientific background on the subject.....
UVA or UVB just isn't a necessary part of any lighting system for Aquarium, vivarium, terrarium, etc, etc. And not even is it of value for growing plants. So the only plus for advertising a UVA or UVB value in lighting would be to show that your lighting system is lower in UVA/B than other competitors.
Fad's come and go.... uv is one of them.
It will only hurt them if they're albino. I would go with a low level, 2.0. Not sure what the bird lights are.

The only place I hear don't use lights is this forum. Look at frog world.net or sciencelearn.org MBD then make your own decision.
