Why learn about Ferguson?


The UV requirements of reptiles are closely related to their outdoor patterns. So, what are the rules for reptiles to go out? Morning and dusk, night travel, day travel? But will they really follow these rules? Obviously, the longer you work with reptiles, the easier it is to find counterexamples:


Corn snakes and hognose snakes that are supposed to be "nocturnal" are sometimes active during the day; cobras that are supposed to be "diurnal" will go out in the middle of the night; leopard geckos in captivity sometimes don't wait until dark Just start going out; many tree frogs that are supposed to be "nocturnal" will come out to bask in the sun during the day in captivity...
