    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I saw that T-Rex has a liquid UVB product out that would alleviate the need for UVB bulbs. The product states that you would give your reptile one drop per week. Has anybody tried this product and if so, what do you think about it?
 
I would say it is Vitiman D3, I would just use the lighting as usual:)
 
You can't know what each individual species needs as far as D3..geographic location, time of year and basking habits come into play. To say that one drop for all duirnal lizards will do it sounds like problems waiting to happen.
 
I'm pretty sure that this is one of those products linked with vitamin D3 overdoses. There is a relatively low margin of tolerance for vitamin D3. When vitamin D is activated naturally in the body with the addition of UV light, there are mechanisms in place to regulate how much is produced to keep it within accepatable levels. When you administer it in the form of a concentrated drop, you're bypassing all of the control mechanisms. In addition you're giving a week's worth of D3 instantly rather than in the incremental doses that the lizard would manufacture naturally as it basks. The one drop directive also does not take into account differences in body size, diet or basking habits. I'd stick with the lights.
