Thanks very much for sharing, it was a great read.

This bit especially reminded me of something I read about research that suggests Bearded Dragons are not able to take advantage of ingested vitamin D3:

"Green iguanas housed in appropriate environmental temperatures could not absorb dietary Ca without UVB exposure and developed hypovitaminosis D despite receiving 3000 IU/kg (international units per kilogram) vitamin D3."

Great read. Wish I had known this when I kept my iguana.
