New issue of Reptile - lighting guide

[JimNPHX]

Just got my new issue and saw a blurb about Exo-Terra having an updated lighting guide on their website.
I realize that it was created to sell their products, but they also discuss various natural light situations. This might be old news for a lot of you but thought I would post the link:

There is also an "Ask The Vet" segment about someone losing a flap-neck due to over feeding. (pg 20)

Thank you very much for the information Jim. This is a must read for many, even me Thx again.

The part that strikes me on page three in the sections entitled: Is the importance of light often underestimated? The last paragraph says, "Unfortunately consumers often only use incandescent lights, which in most cases are totally inadequate." Now I wonder if they are explaining that using only an incandescent light isn't enough or that using an incandescent light period even in conjunction with say a ReptiSun 5.0 or 10.0 UVB bulb is inadequate. Interesting way they put that sentence.
