The Arcadia Guide to MBD and its Elimination in Captivity

Product introduction: 

The Arcadia Guide to MBD and its Elimination in Captivity Written by noted UV and MBD expert John Courteney-Smith with forward by David Alderton. MBD, or Metabolic Bone Disease, is a horrible condition that develops in captive reptiles and amphibians that are not getting enough Vitamin D and exposed to proper levels of Ultraviolet Light. Sadly, Metabolic Bone Disease is now at epidemic levels throughout the hobby due to reptile owners lack of understanding on how to correctly use UV B light. Many inexperienced reptile owners do not know the warning signs. And MBD is not spotted until it is too late and then it is off to the Vets to spend 300.00,400.00 or even 500.00 or more in medical treatments to save the animals life and to try and prevent it from being totally crippled.
