thanks for the comprehensive caresheet, Habu! just one question, i've read that uv light isn't necessary but that some full-spectrum light may assist breeding. what's your thought on that?
also, if you have got a specimen that is a reluctant feeder, what sort of methods do you use to stimulate feeding?

Where did you read this? All the info I have read so far insists that UV is necessary.
If you relate it back to insectivorous lizards, the reason UV is used is for the synthesis of Vit D3/Calcium.
I use UV with my Rough Greens and they are doing very well
