and this worries me because by supplements you presumably include calcium. I understand you would adjust your D3 supplemention, but certainly not your calcium as the increased UVB and subsequent D3 production could lead to resorption of calcium from bone, which can result in decreased bone density.

I use calcium twice weekly which my local reptile vet has advised me is plenty and he said my last beadie looked fine and healthy, I wouldn't suggest this to anyone else unless they knew what they was doing

So you are saying that you have NOT cut their calcium supplementation. Thats the point we need to emphasis. And not least because your post did suggest to everyone.....

Please understand im not having a dig at you, but clarifying a very important point.

Good luck with your trials.

Thanks
