GOOD LIGHTING ARTICLE A SHOULD READ

[wellington]

Just got done about 10 min. Ago or so reading this article on the Tortoise Trust
UNDERSTANDING REPTILE LIGHTING SYSTEMS. I thought it was a very good article. It was last updated 2008. Does anyone know if there is a even newer,
updated version, or is this the latest.

Balboa's article sparked my interest in lighting, I think it is every bit as valuable as what is on Tortoise Trust.

I wouldn't recommend doing business with them, but reptileuvinfo.com has some good info.

Also this.

I have applied a lot of the above to my set-ups and have found the more "good" artificial lighting I can provide, the better. Of course, nothing compares to natural sunlight.
