: why would they not need a heat lamp if they have a uv bulb? uv bulbs don't provide heat.

Active UV does.

:i would have agreed with your statement on heat rocks in the past, but they have improved greatly in the last few years. They do not rise above a certain temp, and the entire surface is also the same temp. Most people do let their houses go below 60 at nite, around here anyway.

I lived there for many years, most people kept their homes at 65-70, at least the ones I knew, now you are over generalizing.

:My bearded dragon doesn't drink from his water dish either, but he LOVES to soak himself.

Where in the wild would P. Viticeps soak? Last time I checked there range was hot and dry deserts.

:The mealworms are basically for variety.

Mealworms are not nutritious and can be dangerous because small beardeds can not digest the shell of a mealworm.

:The pellets are not to be a replacement for fruits and veggies. A lot of dragons like pellets.

Pellets have been proven to contain edictive substances, yumm.

:Food should be supplemented with the powder if it is kept under artifcial lighting, the artificial lights don't produce as much uvb as the sun.

Active UV gets pretty close.

:I'd like to see the study you found though, because my vet says to supplement.

Whose your vet? What is their specialty, have they done any fieldwork with reptiles?

:We do not keep the active uv in stock because of 2 reasons, no one buys them because the initial price is to high for them, and because half of them get stolen. We offer them as an option and will order them if they want it.

Thats convenient it costs less in the long run.
