T8 vs. t5

[BrittBepler]

D3 Dosages of popular supplements:

RepCal D3+ 400,000 IU/kg
Flukers Reptacalcium 100,000 IU/lb
Exoterra 14,740 IU/lb
ZooMed ReptiCalcium 22,907 IU/kg
Mineral -indoor 2000ui per kg
Repashy calcium plus LoD 8,000 IU/lb or 20,000 ui/kg



You can search "edema" on this forum, and you will find the most popular combo to get edema is LoD every 2 weeks, with a UVI above 2.

Very interesting! So sounds like if I keep my T8 10.0 where it is so the UVI is around 2.8 I won't need calcium w/D3 supplementation after all? Do I then still need to use or calcium w/out D3 supplementation?

Yes light dusting of just calcium every feeding, and vitamins twice a month. But again this new 3.0 thing is experimental, so far a few have tried it over the last 2-3 years and its marketed by aracadia. But we have not had and zoo/breeder recommendations on the new 3.0. So far the only issue is edema from over supplementing, there has bee no reports of MBD so far so that is good news.
