Is there any research that shows having D3 levels near the upper limit of the feedback loop is better? It's a slight jump in logic to claim that this higher D3 level is necessarily "ideal". Also that study is only n=12, definitely still an interesting result but it absolutely needs a bigger sample size. Also, why do you support lighting over additional supplementation?
Actually almost all land dwelling animals including humans beings need access to UVB to remain healthy. Cave life and deep ocean life don’t require it but get it through their food.
I would love to give my corns UVB but I got blizzards and amel, is it fine for them? People told me they can go blind and other stuff If I would to give them uvb. Much appraciate if you could respond!
Isnt the self regulation tied to a certain balance in the uvb uva wavelengths? Great vid, too bad mr. Wickens chose to base his vid on his personal experience and need for clickbait. Wish mr do your own research would feature some actual science in his very popular vids
its the uva2 that aids in providing the breaks yeah. This is not directed at Adam, I actually saw lots of people saying UVB does nothing in a FB group called corn snakes UK and was shocked. This is what inspired this video.
@@ReptilesandResearch all good, my comment was directed at him though. Just think vids like his last one (particularly the corn part) make progress in husbandry that much harder. Usually his points are solid and helpful. This time tho :/
You should really link and/or cite all of your sources

@eymi5742 all current research suggests uvb is dangerous for albino animals
Hey, what about amel/albinos? How are they gonna fare with UVB, since they don't have melanin?
They still do okay, the just need a lower amount

@@ReptilesandResearchanother question, were the bulns in the studies balanced in terms of uva2?
@@kirillukin2222 yes because it was regular linear tubes
@@ReptilesandResearch thanks!
