The Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 lamp is a game - changer for reptile owners. It emits the perfect amount of UVB rays, just like the natural shady conditions found in rain forests and other tropical spots. Reptiles in these habitats usually get a moderate dose of UV radiation because of factors like high humidity and changing weather, which stop unfiltered sunlight from hitting their basking areas. This lamp has an excellent Vitamin D3 yield index, promoting vitamin D3 photosynthesis. This helps your reptile absorb calcium better and keeps metabolic diseases at bay. It's a brand - new spectrum, replacing the old Repti Glo 5.0. Ideal for all tropical and sub - tropical reptiles, it provides optimal UVB levels. The lamp is effective up to 40 cm (15'). It supplies the necessary UVB rays for great calcium metabolism and UVA rays that boost your reptile's appetite, activity, and reproductive behavior. For the best visual light output, you can combine it with Natural Light or Reptile Vision. Available in 13 - watt and 26 - watt sizes.
Using the Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 is easy. First, choose the right wattage for your reptile's enclosure. The 13 - watt is suitable for smaller spaces, while the 26 - watt works well for larger ones. Install the lamp in a place where your reptile can easily bask under it, within the 40 - cm effective range. Keep in mind that this lamp is designed for tropical and sub - tropical reptiles, so make sure it matches your pet's habitat needs. When it comes to maintenance, check the lamp regularly for any signs of damage. Replace it according to the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure it continues to emit the right levels of UVB and UVA rays. Also, always remember to turn off the lamp when cleaning the enclosure to avoid any accidents.
