Nice work on the page but-- I don't think you should show an iguana with SEVERE MBD as your only photos. If you show these pics, you need to put captions explaining that the curved spine is the result of MBD. Also, vitalites are not as good as Zoomed-- I just saw a scientific study done (not by Zoomed either) and Zoomed had way better results-- I'll post the link below. Spinach and Kale should not be used on a regular basis, but the rest of the diet looks good. I think these 3 issues are very important. Other than that, your info seems right on.

Actually instead of the link, here is the info:

The following figures were also provided by Wild Inside�. The only two
bulbs that I verified for output of UVB using my photodiode radiometer
were the ZOO MED� and the Vita-Lite�, David Krughoff

Fluorescent lamp output in microwatts/cm2

Bulbtype....................... distance.....UVA......UVB

ZOO MED� REPTISUN 5% UVB�....... 1 foot...... 23 .... 10

Vita-Lite�...................... 1 foot....... 6 .... 1.3 (that is 1 point 3 not 13 ! )

Blacklight...................... 1 foot..... 153 ..... 2.6

Metal halide 100 watt........... 1 foot...... 40 ..... 1.9

Lumichrome...................... 1 foot....... 4 ..... 0.9

Cool white.......................1 foot....... 2 ..... 0.1

: I need feedback on my green iggy caresheet, I need to know whether there is something I should add or mention... Please ck out my page!
