Description
The Exo Terra Reptile UVB 100 is designed to emit optimal levels of UVB, similar to that found in shady environments such as rain forests or other tropical locations. Reptiles living in these habitats receive moderate UV radiation due to climatological conditions, such as high humidity and weather changes, which prevent unfiltered sunlight from reaching the reptile’s basking site. The optimal Vitamin D3 yield index ensures vitamin D3 photosynthesis to aid calcium absorption and prevent metabolic diseases.
In addition, the product features a new spectrum and was formerly known as Repti Glo 5.0. It is ideal for all tropical and sub-tropical reptiles and is effective up to 40 cm (15”). It provides necessary UVB rays for optimal calcium metabolism and UVA rays that stimulate appetite, activity, and reproductive behavior. For optimal visual light output, it can be combined with Natural Light or Reptile Vision.
UVB is a vital wavelength that is naturally present in sunlight, and provides numerous benefits for nearly all reptiles. It is essential in maintaining the health and strength of your pet's bones, and contributes to various other vital functions
Each reptile species has unique UVB requirements. It's important to research your specific species to determine the necessary UV index (UVI) in their basking area.
