I am part of a herp group on facebook for the KC area. There are a ton of new people joining everyday and the creator tends to post a lot of good information on a lot of different herps;however, last night she was posting Melissa Kaplan's "information" about MVB bulbs from anapsid.org.
Most of this information is from the 90s with Melissa's most recent article on the subject from 2002. Plus, well I don't trust a word that comes out of her mouth since her care sheets are so horribly full of misinformation. I brought that up to the poster but she seems to think that just because Melissa posts incorrect caresheets, that her "research" on lighting and digestion is still credible, I disagree with her and with the act of sending anyone to that site.
So here is where i need help. Are there any more recent articles out there about lighting and digestion that can be used to replace these links? Any new information about the safety of MVB bulbs (which according to the 2002 article are giving us all cancer and only fit for zoos if the zoo keeper has the right protective equipment to wear when in range)? Anything at all I can post to convince the creator of that group to not send traffic to a site where a newbie might come across a caresheet that will potentially kill their new pet?
