I do use timers for everything, so I don't have to worry if I ever decide to stay out longer in the evenings or sleep in in the mornings, lol.
The drops I have are these...

Yeh, they're just basically D3 supplement. The only problem is that herps that need D3 supplementation are ones that actively bask a lot. The D3 isn't the only benefit they get from doing this and if kept in poorly lit conditions they often become depressed, don't feed, don't breed, and have compromised immune systems that open them up to a host of other problems. While the drops are fine if you just don't want to get the expensive UVB bulbs, they really don't totally replace the value of the lights. Better then the lights (and more energy efficient) would be to just expose them to unfiltered direct sunlight, but this isn't always possible or practical.
