Well i mean i guess if your reptiles kept inside you should maybe think about a solar meter,i mean i agree i dont think to much uvb is good but at the same time i dont think to little is good to,alot of sun loving reptiles that bask in the sun aren't getting low uvb amonts lets face it.And to own a solar meter is up to you i agree there to but if you buy a uvb bulb and it says you should replace it every 6 months and it still putting out over 50mw of uvb then the bulb would still be good from what i've read.So you wouldnt have to replace it rite at 6 months,i just dont get how a guy like myself keeps my rhino inside helps montior the uvb output so i know when the bulb is in need of replacement.And you wouldnt know if a old uvb bulb is even putting out 10mw if you have no way to tell the amount of uvb its putting out without a solar meter.And your rite if you think your reptiles doing fine with a uvb bulb and its healthy then thats up to the person,myself i'll use my uvb bulb and know exactly how much uvb my rhino is getting with my solar meter since in time they all decay,and we all cant be 100% sure every uvb bulb is working correct all the time.Hust my opinion.
