It depends on the diet you feed and the supplementation you provide... if any.

There's tons of information out there... much of it is misleading... I suspect for the sake of simplicity.

If you're here to learn... specific questions are going to be your best bet because this is a really complex issue.
Absolutely true Ed. I don't use UV lights of any description and my torts are as hard s nails and as fit as a butchers dog. Pellets and supplements are all I use. Research is the key, and lots of it.
