    Default UVB for Albinos?

    So, I recently checked, while cleaning Hurley's tank, (my pacman) that his lighting wasn't a UVB light. I thought, oh my god, that's not good. That was yesterday, So today I was looking into getting him a new light fixture and UVB lights, making sure I got the right UVB spectrum, 2.0 I believe, but then I came across word that albino's cannot have UVB lighting due to burns. Is this true? I have always given my frogs D3 and Calcium supplements because I'm terrified of bone diseases but I never thought about his albinism before. It would make sense, but I figured I'd ask the experts first. So should I buy him a UVB or stick with a day bulb?
