Chad, the point I was making was that you said you had proof of monitor longevity under 24/7 lighting, so I asked what the proof was. Thus far all you've told us about was a 1.5 year old albig kept under 24/7 lighting, a friend's 8 year old monitor that has just been turned over to 24/7 lights and 'wasn't dead yet' and your personal belief that it doesn't affect their lifespan. That's hardly proof of anything.
I am not saying 24/7 lights is bad, or 24/7 lights is good. What I am saying is that you can't claim longevity under those conditions until it's been tested, whereas I can say that I know of a large number of cases of extremely long lived monitors (and other reptiles) kept under cycled conditions.
Do I keep my lace monitors 24/7? No, they get cycles, both day/night and summer/winter. This hasn't stopped them from growing as quickly as I need them to grow (there isn't a race, you know), breeding every year and multi-clutching. |
