Yeah i mean you have a point james w,but i would think if a reptile in the wild is basking under the sun once it gets to the rite desired temperature it will look for some retreat in the shade and it will get enough uvb and promote d3 into the skin,how much uvb is needed who honestly knows but the sun puts off a good amount of uvb,as for people that keep are peptiles inside we have to stimulate the sun for our reptiles wheather is 10mw or 150mw.Now i posted this before from reptile uv 50-250 uW/cm2 mimics the natural environment enough to keep your UV-dependent BASKING reptiles healthy, depending on the species, according to the latest research.Now this is just what the site say,not me saying this.
