No, i don't mean UV-B rays, but X-rays.
I need to know that because my turtle is sick and i want to have her x-rayed. Unfortunately, no vet in my town could tell me what that dosage is--they have no clue...

You need to ask a reptile vet specialist.

OK... why? I am dying of curiosity! I am wondering if you mean UV-B rays?
Dr. Douglas Mader is the leading author, although I used to have a good book by a doctor named Frye (I believe) that I cannot seem to locate any more.
Here are a couple books at Amazon.com that may be of interest, and if the question REALLY is about UV light- there is a link for that as well...
