If you're able, the best thing you can do is to set up a temporary outdoor pen or cage that they can use to get a couple hours of unfiltered sunlight during summer. Doesn't have to be anything fancy or expensive... I built one years ago out of some mismatched plywood scraps and leftover hardware cloth.
Thanks, I believe that too, especially if you feed a multivitamin with D3. I think I am sticking with the T5 5.0 with the screen off, if problems occur ill upgrade to a 10.0. He loves to climb and I dont want to deprive him being able to climb, as min distances to a 10.0 are hard to reach.

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason silkbacks and translucents need less uvb?
